This section explains in detail some things you might need to do after your upgrade is complete.
Installing Rational Change 5.2 If you use Rational Change with this database, install Rational Change 5.2. Earlier releases of Rational Change are not compatible with Rational Synergy 7.1. For detailed instructions, see the Rational Change Installation Guide for Windows.
You must create or upgrade at least one database before you install Rational Change 5.2, because Rational Change requires access to a Rational Synergy database.
If you saved a modified copy of the previous ptcli configuration file as described in s_t_upw_upgrd_os_exst_srv.html#wp1011061__wp1164149, merge it at this time. The ptcli file is:
Program Files\IBM\Rational\Synergy\7.1\etc\ptcli.cfg
Synergy Distributed transfers after upgradeRational Synergy 7.1 supports DCM transfers to and from releases 6.4 SP1, 6.5 SP2, 6.5a, 6.6a, and 7.0. Patches to these releases are required for DCM compatibility. For additional information, see the Rational Synergy Readme for Release 7.1 and the product README files for patches to the earlier releases.
For complete information about upgrading a DCM database, see "Upgrading Synergy Distributed clusters" on page 85.
Modifying purposes and processes rulesIn Release 6.5, process rules replaced the objects previously known as update templates and reconfigure templates. Release 6.5 also introduced the concept of a process, which is a collection of process rules, and renamed some existing purposes. For more information, read the "Updating scripts to work with Synergy 7.1" on page 69, the Rational Synergy Help, and the Build Manager’s Guide.
Upgrading to 7.1 creates or renames the standard purposes. If you have modified any of the standard purposes, your modified copy is renamed, starting with a prefix "Saved".
