If you are using Rational® ClearQuest® for
the first time with version 7.0 or later, the GUI-based tools provide
support to set up and manage data code pages for your schema repositories.
Also, for many previous users of Rational ClearQuest whose
data code pages were set to US-ASCII, the GUI provides all required
code page functionality.
In many cases, databases created by using Rational ClearQuest 2003.06.xx are
compatible with versions 7.0 and later. In such a case, no action
is required. However it is good practice to validate the database
set by using the codepageutil utility to ensure that all existing
data is compatible with the new data code page.
Some Rational ClearQuest environments
will include data that must be converted before it can be used in
a version 7.0 or later environment. To convert your data, you must
perform the following tasks:
- Develop a conversion strategy for the data currently in your schema
repositories.
- Use the Rational ClearQuest utilities
to evaluate your content and convert the data to the data code page
that you plan to use.
