This section explains what to do after you have installed Rational® Synergy Release 7.2 or later.
About this task
You are not required to reinstall PC Integrations
types into any existing databases. The database upgrade process described
in these upgrade instructions preserves the PC integration types.
Procedure
- If applicable, reinstall PC integrations.
If you used a PC integrations product with your previous Rational Synergy release,
you must install the appropriate integrations release on top of Release 7.2 or later.
- If applicable, merge configuration files.
If you have not already done so, merge the files identified in Configuration, platform values, and remote execution files.
- Verify that the installation has completed
correctly by unpacking a test database into the directory prepared
for Rational Synergy databases,
on the database server computer. If any of the following steps fail,
contact IBM® Rational Software Support.
- Unpack a test database. Log on as the CM
Administrator on the Rational Synergy server,
and unpack a test database. Rational Synergy databases
must be on an NTFS file system, and the ccmdb unpack
command requires a UNC path name for the database to be created. For
more information about the ccmdb unpack command,
review the administration guide for Windows.
ccmdb unpack "C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\Synergy\7.2 or later\packfiles\training.cpk" /t
\\server\share\testdb
- Start a Rational Synergy session
on the test database. On the Windows taskbar,
click to view
the Start Rational Synergy window.
Note: The Start menu folder shown is the default program folder.
Your folder might be different based on where you installed the program.
If the Start Rational Synergy window
opens, type the server URL in the Server field.
Click Start to start the session.
Results
The installation is complete when the session starts.
