Supporting mixed environments for SQL Server

If a SQL Server database is running on the default port (1433) of the database server, clients from Rational® ClearQuest® version 2003.06.12 and later can work with version 8.0 and later schema repositories and databases.

If the SQL Server database is running on a nondefault port or using a nondefault instance, all clients must be upgraded to version 2003.06.13 or later. Version 2003.06.15 or later, or version 8.0 and later, are recommended.

If you make any changes to the connection information for the schema repositories and user databases, then you must propagate a new connection profile to the Rational ClearQuest clients. For information, see Propagating connection information to clients.

Figure 1 shows the process.
