Just noticed that you are try to move your configuration to another device that is running a different version. It's really not supported.

 

You can do two things :

 

1- upgrade the old device to 12.1.0 (it's supported for 3600), then retry the scf export/import procedure

 

2- Downgrade the new device to 10.2.0 (please check if your device support this old version), then retry the scf export/import procedure and finally upgrade the new device to 12.1.0

 

Personally, I prefer the first solution, it's easier.
