When you install the software by 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:
- Rational Synergy Release 7.2 is
installed to a separate directory.
- For users running on Informix®, the installer copies the previous
database server configuration files, thus making the previous server
available under Release 7.2.
- The installer copies commonly modified files (such
as ccm.ini) from the previous installation to the
new one.
- The installer tells you which files must be merged:
- If a given configuration file in your previous
installation directory is still valid for Release 7.2,
it is automatically used in the Release 7.2 installation
directory.
- If a given configuration file in your previous
installation directory is no longer valid for Release 7.2,
it is copied to the Release 7.2 installation
directory. However, it is given a different name. The installation
program provides the new name when you install Rational Synergy.
If you choose to keep the modified files from a previous release,
merge your changed files with the new Release 7.2 configuration
files.
Here is the list of configuration files that are
handled as previously described (paths are relative to the Rational Synergy installation
directory):
etc/ccminit
etc/ccm.ini
etc/remexec.cfg
