If your previous installation is not visible from this
computer, you must merge the configuration files manually with those
files you saved.
About this task
See Saving the previous installation.
If your previous installation is visible from this
computer, 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 or later is
installed to a separate directory.
- If a previous installation directory is visible,
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 or later,
it is automatically used in the Release 7.2 or later installation
directory.
- If a given configuration file in your previous
installation directory is no longer valid for Release 7.2 or later,
it is copied to the Release 7.2 or later installation
directory. However, it is given a different name. The installation
program provides the new name when you install Rational Synergy.
If you modified any of these files in your old release and you want
to keep the changes, merge your changed files with the new Release 7.2 or later configuration
files.
The following 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
