About this task

This section explains what you need to do after you have installed Rational Synergy Release 7.1.

Perform these post-installation steps:

Procedure

  1. If applicable, Reinstalling PC integrations
  2. If applicable, Merging configuration files
  3. Verifying the installation

Reinstalling PC integrations

About this task

If you used a PC integrations product with your previous Rational Synergy Release, you must install the appropriate integrations release on top of Release 7.1.

You do not need to reinstall PC Integrations types into any existing databases. The database upgrade process described in these Upgrade Instructions preserves the PC integration types.

Merging configuration files

About this task

If you have not already done so, merge the files identified in s_t_upw_create_dbsrv_new_srv.html#wp1060250__wp1153502.

Verifying the installation

About this task

Verify correct installation by unpacking a test database into the directory set up for Rational Synergy databases, on the database server machine. If any of the following steps fail, contact IBM Rational Software Support.

To verify the installation:

Procedure

  1. If you did not elect to unpack a test database during the installation, then you must now unpack a test database.

    Log on as the CM Administrator on the Rational Synergy server, and unpack a test database. Rational Synergy databases must be on an NTFS file system, and the ccmdb unpack command requires a UNC path name for the database to be created. For more information about the ccmdb unpack command, see the Rational Synergy Administration Guide for Windows.

       > ccmdb unpack "Program
    Files\IBM\Rational\Synergy\7.1\packfiles\training.cpk" /t
    \\server\share\testdb
  2. Start a Rational Synergy session in Traditional mode on the test database.
    1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational Tools > IBM Rational Synergy 7.1 to display the Start Rational Synergy dialog box.

      The Start menu folder is the default program folder. Your folder might be different based on where you installed the program.

      When the Start Rational Synergy dialog box is displayed, type the CM Administrator name and password, type the path to the test database in the Database Path text box, and the name of this machine in the Engine Host text box. Click Start to start the session.

Results

The installation is complete when the sessions start. To stop the sessions, select Task > Exit.
