If you include Rational® ClearQuest® Web
in your environment, preserve your Web server configuration files
before upgrading to the latest version.
To preserve these files, copy them to a location that will not
be affected by the upgrade process. Be sure to distinguish the two
versions of the files common.properties and jtl.properties before
copying them, as the specific settings in each file may differ from
each other.
Note: If the user data preserved uninstall option was
run when uninstalling
Rational ClearQuest,
IBM Installation
Manager preserves the properties files listed in the following tables,
and automatically migrates some of the settings to the Site Configuration
window. However, you should also consider making additional backup
copies of the files before uninstalling.
If the clean uninstall
option is run, you must manually migrate all the settings from the
copies of the properties files you preserved before uninstalling.
If you must run the clean uninstall option for other reasons, it becomes
increasingly important to preserve these properties files if you want
to migrate the settings from your pre-7.1.x deployment. For more information
about the uninstall tool, see Uninstall Rational products.
After you install the upgrade, you can migrate the configuration
settings from the properties files in the following tables to
Rational ClearQuest Change
Management (CM) server. For information about how to migrate these
settings, see
Migrating ClearQuest Web configuration settings.
Note: For
preserving files on Linux or UNIX system platform deployments, navigate
to /opt/rational/.../ instead of \Program
Files\Rational\...\, as shown next.

Preserving SSL protocol files
If you have
your CM server configured to use secure sockets, the Rational ClearQuest uninstall
will preserve the following files in the IHS\conf directory:
admin.conf, httpd.conf, and ssl.conf. After upgrading, you can use
these files to re-configure CM Server to use secure sockets. For instructions
to follow after the upgrade, see Configuring secure sockets.
