RedShift complains about Version Mismatch

Houdini AMI with version 2.6.48 I believe.

AMI with Redshift standalone with 2.6.39 I believe

Weird that it thinks the file is a different version in two different versions of Redshift… but is happy with neither. Do we have to have the exact version of redshift on the cloud nodes that the RS file was created in? That’s annoying. By the way current version is 2.6.52

I’ve had a similar issue here, locally, when exporting RS Proxy files.

Seems like versions are backwards compatible though, so if you were trying to open 42 in version 44, you should be fine. Just not the other way around.

Exporting the RS file in at least equal to or less than the version on the AMI would make it work.

For RS Standalone, save the file in 2.6.39. As of June 2020 RS versions with different AMIs are mentioned here: https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.1/1_User%20Manual/manual/aws-portal-supported-software.html
