Download the appropriate installation image from the Rational Synergy Support website, and extract it. The following examples assume that you have extracted the image to /synergy_image.
Follow the instructions for running ccm_install in the Rational Synergy Installation Guide for UNIX, up to but excluding "Set up the Rational Synergy Environment", except: If the installation directory for the previous release of Synergy is visible from this machine, use the -u option in addition to the -x option.
For example, if you are using the Bourne shell, the commands for running the upgrade installation procedure might be as follows:
root# mkdir /usr/local/ccm71 root# chown ccm_root:ccm_root /usr/local/ccm71 root# chmod 755 /usr/local/ccm71 root# CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccm71; export CCM_HOME root# PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH root# cd /usr/local/ccm71 root# /synergy_image/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x -u
-x extracts the software from the installation image.
-u automatically copies configuration files from a previous installation, as explained in Configuration, platform values, and remote execution files. The ccm_install program prompts you to type the path of the Rational Synergy 6.4, 6.5, or 7.0 installation. If you type an invalid directory, an error message is displayed, and you exit the ccm_install program.
If your previous installation is not visible from this machine, you cannot use the -u option. Instead, you must merge the configuration files manually with those files you saved. See Saving the previous installation and 2.
If your previous installation is visible from this machine, when you install the software using the procedures previously described, the Rational Synergy installation program checks the configuration files in your previous installation directory. The following actions are taken as a result of this check:
Following is the list of configuration files that are handled as previously described (paths are relative to the Rational Synergy installation directory):
etc/Ccm etc/ccminit etc/ccm.ini etc/remexec.cfg
Except where noted, you must perform the following steps on each machine that will host a database server for Release 7.1.
Oracle users must read "Prepare the Oracle Database" in the Rational Synergy Installation Guide for UNIX on Oracle. They must also verify that the items listed in that section have been performed before proceeding.
