Description

If the application is in synchronized status, command "AppManage -config" or "AppManage -deploy" would fail if the target product version changes. For example, a BW application currently is deployed to BW 5.10, and the target BW product version in the configuration file is BW 5.13. The following error can be observed in ApplicationManagement.log.
