The upgrade process is a side-by-side installation. Each product must be upgraded by installing the new version of the product and updating configuration files, adding or updating tables in existing database repositories, and upgrading the Data warehouse.
If you upgrade multiple products that were on multiple application servers, those applications will continue to run on separate application servers after the upgrade. It is not supported to merge multiple products into a single application server. However, you can still register multiple applications with the same Jazz™ Team Server application.

Use the software product compatibility reports: On this page, you can search and generate reports for a specific product. The information includes prerequisites, product translation into a specific language, end of service, server virtualization environments, and more. | Use the Software product compatibility report generator. |
Create an upgrade data sheet: On the upgrade data sheet, you can gather and record specific data that is required during the upgrade process, such as URLs and user IDs. | See the Collaborative Lifecycle Management sample data sheet |
Verify that your hardware and software meet the minimum system requirements: To learn about new requirements and to see if your current system meets the minimum requirements, click the System requirements link. | Detailed System Requirements for Rational® Engineering Lifecycle Manager |
Get the product installation media: For local repository download, you need approximately 5 GB of hard drive space to download and extract your product installation media for each product. | |
Plan for your applications to be unavailable: Your applications will be unavailable for a brief period while you back up everything and update your applications. All of the applications that are connected to Jazz Team Server will be offline while Jazz Team Server is offline. Be sure to provide time to completely back up your existing applications. | |
Learn about licensing: You may need to
obtain new licenses for the upgraded versions of the products. The
new licenses will be compatible with previous version applications,
but updated applications do not work with previous licenses. The licensing scheme for most products is role-based. When you purchase a role-based license, you will have read, write, and comment access to some or all of the capabilities of that application. |
