Updating the file format of Microsoft Access test databases

If you have created Microsoft® Access test databases with a version of Rational® ClearQuest® earlier than version 7.0, you must update these databases when you upgrade Rational ClearQuest.

About this task

You can update the format of the MDB files using Access 2003 or later, or move the databases to another supported vendor database before upgrading Rational ClearQuest and then move them back to Access that is available with Rational ClearQuest after upgrading.

Note: Moving files to another vendor database might take more steps than converting files using Access 2000, but it is not necessary to obtain a copy of Access 2000. You can use another vendor database that you have already licensed, or the version of DB2® Restricted Edition Database that comes with Rational ClearQuest Version 7.1.x.

If you do not need the test databases and want to delete them, use the Designer to delete the databases before upgrading Rational ClearQuest. In the Designer, click Database  > Delete Databases.
