Changes in Rational Synergy 7.2
This section summarizes the changes in Rational Synergy7.2 that
you must take into account when planning your upgrade. These changes
require additional testing beyond the testing you have done for previous
releases.
Copying utilities
Use the ccm_copy_tools command to copy utilities from a Rational Synergy7.0, 7.1, or 7.1a installation directory to the Rational Synergy7.2 installation directory. You can also use this command to save the utilities from a previous release, or to apply previously saved utilities into a Rational Synergy Release 7.2 installation.
Text encoding and the Illegal Character Detection tool
Before upgrading from Rational Synergy 7.0
or 7.1, install and run the Illegal Character Detection tool on your
database. This tool finds characters that might be modified incorrectly
during the conversion to UTF-8.
