To upgrade all your databases on the server at the same time, follow the topics in this section— in the sequence shown — to install the Rational Synergy Release 7.1 software and upgrade your databases from a previous release.
Note: Following this procedure and installing the 7.1 software on an existing server immediately performs the server upgrade, and renders the databases unusable under previous releases. Each database on the server must be upgraded to 7.1 before it can be used. The databases do not need to be moved or copied because they are already in an upgraded server.
Note: To ensure a trouble-free installation, print a copy of this checklist. Then, check off each item as you work through the list.
If you have any problems, see Troubleshooting post-upgrade issues.
