IBM® Rational® Quality Manager is
available in two editions: Express® and
Standard.
To upgrade from the Express to
the Standard edition, you install the alternate edition
of the product, and then copy the appropriate configuration files.
Because both editions support the same database configurations, a
database migration is not necessary, but can be performed following
the Jazz/Rational Team Concert database conversion process. After
the alternate product edition has been installed, the configuration
files must be upgraded.
Copying configuration files
You should first
rename the original files in the upgraded server installation to make
backups. Then, copy the following files from the source server to
the target server:
- The teamserver.properties file
- The full text index directory (The location is the value of the
com.ibm.team.fulltext.indexLocation property in teamserver properties.)
- If you are using Derby, copy the repositoryDB directory tree.
- If you are using Tomcat and have changed the configuration, copy
the tomcat/conf directory.
- If you are using the Tomcat user database, copy the tomcat-users.xml
file.
- If you are using Tomcat and you have customized the application
deployment descriptor, copy the modified web.xml file for the
jazz.war file which is located in the RQM_install_dir\server\tomcat\webapps\jazz\WEB-INF
directory.
Licensing after upgrading to a new edition
If
you are upgrading to the Standard edition, and you have purchased
the Quality Manager Client Activation Kit for Express, you will need to purchase and install
the Quality Manager Client Activation Kit for Standard Edition in
order to use the client licenses. Your Quality Manager license assignments
will still be in effect, but the Quality Manager licenses will be
deactivated until the correct activation kit is installed.
