## Symptoms

- * Import of the management database into a clean installed R80.20 machine fails with the following reason:  
  "`Database export was done with migration tools for different version.
  You must export and import database with migration tools for version installed on destination machine.`"  

* Attempting to run mds_import.sh, using a database from mds_setup generates the following error: `Error: /var/log/exported_mds.DDMonYYYY-HHMMSS.tgz was created with a version of mds_export that does not match this version.`
* The `/opt/CPshrd-R80.20/log/migrate-xxxx.xx.xx_xx.xx.xx.log` shows:

## Cause

Plugin version defined in *plugin_pack.conf* does not match to the version defined in *plugin_upgrade_match.conf* . In *plugin_pack.conf* the version was defined as "*R80.20-GA* ", while in the file *plugin_upgrade_match.conf* the version was defined as "*R80.20*".

This issue happens when /opt/CPupgrade-tools-R80.20 directory exist on one machine and not on another. This directory will be created automatically when user ticked the option to receive the updates from DownloadCenter automatically.

*plugin_pack.conf* file will be updated automatically when device connected to the Internet and received the updates from DownloadCenter successfully.
