Changes in Rational Synergy 7.2 releases
Here is a summary of the changes in Rational Synergy 7.2
or later that you must consider when planning your upgrade. These
changes require additional testing beyond the testing you have done
for previous releases.
Copying utilities
Use the ccm_copy_tools command to copy
utilities from a Rational Synergy7.0, 7.1, or 7.1a installation
directory to the Rational Synergy7.2 or later installation
directory. You can also use this command to save the utilities from
a previous release, or to apply previously saved utilities into a Rational Synergy Release 7.2 or later installation.
Text encoding and the Illegal Character Detection tool
Before upgrading from Rational Synergy 7.0
or 7.1, install and run the Illegal Character Detection tool on your
database. This tool finds characters that might be modified incorrectly
during the conversion to UTF-8.
