Planning your upgrade

To plan a ClearQuest® upgrade, identify prerequisite requirements for hardware and software, choose an upgrade strategy, select ClearQuest features to install, understand how to upgrade ClearQuest server components, and prepare your environment.

In the Rational® ClearQuest version 8.0.x release, you can upgrade Rational ClearQuest from 7.0.xx to 8.0.0.x or from 7.1.x to 8.0.0.x.

Before beginning the upgrade, review the IBM® Rational ClearQuest 8.0.0.x Release Notes® for information about new features, requirements, and known issues for the ClearQuest version you are planning to upgrade to.
