Download the appropriate installation image from the Rational Synergy Support website, and extract it. The following examples assume that you have extracted the image to /synergy_image.
Follow the instructions for running ccm_install in the Rational Synergy Installation Guide for UNIX, up to but excluding "Set up the Rational Synergy Environment", except: Use the -u option and the -s servername option in addition to the -x option.
For example, if you are using the Bourne shell, the commands for running the upgrade installation procedure might be as follows:
root# mkdir /usr/local/ccm71 root# chown ccm_root:ccm_root /usr/local/ccm71 root# chmod 755 /usr/local/ccm71 root# CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccm71; export CCM_HOME root# PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH root# cd /usr/local/ccm71 root# /synergy_image/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x -u -s servername
-x extracts the software from the installation image.
-u automatically copies configuration files from a previous installation, as explained in Configuration, platform values, and remote execution files. The ccm_install program prompts you to type the path of the Rational Synergy 6.4, 6.5, or 7.0 installation. If you type an invalid directory, an error message is displayed. You exit the ccm_install program.
-s servername upgrades the Informix database server from the old installation. To upgrade the database server, you must use this option even if the database server uses the default name (the name of the machine). The -s servername option must not be used by users running on Oracle.
When you install the software using the procedures previously described, the Rational Synergy installation program checks the configuration files in your previous installation directory. The following actions are taken as a result of this check:
Here is the list of configuration files that are handled as previously described (paths are relative to the Rational Synergy installation directory):
