Rational® ClearQuest® version 7.1.x does not support SQL Anywhere as a database for schema repositories and user databases. If you have been using SQL Anywhere, you must migrate the data in these databases to a supported database before upgrading Rational ClearQuest.
Use the Maintenance Tool and Designer from your current version of Rational ClearQuest to move the schema repositories and user databases.
If you are running an earlier release of Rational ClearQuest, you might not be able to migrate directly to a release of a database supported by Version 7.1.x.
