Testing ObjectMake

About this task

To test ObjectMake, you must have an installation of Synergy 6.5 SP2 with patch 6.5 SP2 01, or its replacement, applied. Patch 6.5 SP2 01 includes an important change to ObjectMake that you need to use ObjectMake with Release 7.1.

If you are running Synergy Release 6.4, you do not need to upgrade your data to release 6.5 SP2. However, you do need to install 6.5 SP2 with patch 6.5 SP2 01, so that you can access files from that installation.

To test ObjectMake:

Procedure

  1. You must have installed Synergy 7.1 for testing purposes.
  2. You must have installed Synergy 6.5 SP2 and applied patch 6.5 SP2-01, as previously described.
  3. Copy the ObjectMake programs from the 6.5 SP2 installation to the 7.1 installation as described in Copying ObjectMake and utilities from Release 6.5.

    You might have already done this step in the previous procedure, Data testing.

  4. For each database where you use ObjectMake:
    • Upgrade a test copy of the database to 7.1.

      You might have done this step already during an earlier step.

    • Build your products, ensuring that ObjectMake works as it did in previous releases.
  5. If you encounter any issues, report them to IBM Rational Software Support for guidance.
