Installing Synergy

About this task

Note: Do not install Rational Synergy Release 7.1 over a previous installation. Use a separate installation directory for each release, or uninstall the older release first, as described earlier in this checklist.

Follow the instructions in the Rational Synergy Installation Guide for Windows to install the license server and Rational Synergy Release 7.1 on all your clients and servers. You can elect to create a database server during the installation. Or you can unpack a test database during the installation. Use that database to test the installation.

Configuration, platform values, and remote execution filesIf your previous installation is not visible from this machine, you must merge the configuration files manually with those files you saved. See s_t_upw_upgrade_os_new_srv.html#wp1055510__wp1153455 and s_t_upw_upgrade_os_new_srv.html#wp1055510__wp1059670.

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/ccminit
etc/ccm.ini
etc/remexec.cfg
