Installed version | Upgrade overview |
---|---|
ClearQuest version 7.x | In ClearQuest V8.x, the WebSphere Application
Server is installed separately from the ClearQuest Web Server, which
is known as the ClearQuest CM server in ClearQuest V7.x. The separate
installation enables the WebSphere Application
Server and IBM® HTTP Server environments
to be managed independently of the ClearQuest environment. If you are upgrading
from V7.x, use IBM Installation Manager to install a supported version
of WebSphere Application
Server and IBM HTTP Server before
you upgrade ClearQuest resources.
See Prepare the WebSphere Application Server environment for ClearCase and ClearQuest web servers. Restriction: Because the ClearQuest V7.x
application server architecture and installation process is different
than it is in V8.x, the rollback operation is not supported after
you upgrade from V7.x to V8.x. To restore the previous version, remove
the new version and reinstall the previous version of the product.

ClearQuest version 8.0 with WebSphere Application Server 7.0 |
Restriction: The rollback operation is not supported
if you upgrade from a ClearQuest V8.0
deployment on WebSphere Application
Server 7.0 to a ClearQuest V8.0.0.x
deployment on WebSphere Application
Server 8.0. To restore the previous version, remove the new version
and reinstall the previous version of the product.
|
ClearQuest version 8.0.0.x, with WebSphere Application Server version 8.0 | ClearQuest V8.0.1
is supported on WebSphere Application
Server V8.0 and V8.5.0.x. When you upgrade, you have these options:

ClearQuest version 8.0 introduces a new reporting strategy that might affect your upgrade process. If your upgrade plan includes updating or adding support for Rational ClearQuest reporting, see Reporting on Rational ClearQuest data sources for information about these changes.
The Report Server for Crystal Reports and Report Launcher for ClearQuest Web Server features are installed in the same WebSphere Application Server application server profile as the ClearQuest Web server. As a result, you must upgrade reporting feature at the same time that when you upgrade the ClearQuest Web Server.
ClearQuest version | Upgrade overview |
---|---|
ClearQuest version 7.1.x to 8.0.x |
|
ClearQuest version 8.0.0.1 or later to 8.0.x | During the ClearQuest version
8.x installation process, the software for the Full Text Search Server
feature is copied into the WebSphere Application
Server profile for ClearQuest Web
Server. To preserve this information when you upgrade, remove the
feature, or apply fix packs, use the ClearQuest cqtsadmin.pl script
to back up the full-text search configuration and data. After you
upgrade, use the cqtsadmin.pl script to restore
the data. For instructions, see Upgrading or reinstalling ClearQuest in a full-text search deployment with multiple WebSphere profiles Note: Before you run the script, run this command
to verify that the CQFTS_AppServer_HOME environment
variable is set to the directory where the WebSphere Application Server
is installed.

To comply with these guidelines, you must use LDAP with Transport Layer Security 1.2 protocol (TLS 1.2) for authenticating ClearQuest users. This configuration requires updating the LDAP server and the ClearQuest LDAP configuration to support TLS 1.2. For details, see technote 1646724.
