Performing post-installation steps

This section explains what to do after you have installed Rational® Synergy Release 7.2 or later.

About this task

You are not required to reinstall PC Integrations types into any existing databases. The database upgrade process described in these upgrade instructions preserves the PC integration types.

Procedure

  1. If applicable, reinstall PC integrations. If you used a PC integrations product with your previousRational Synergy release, you must install the appropriate integrations release on top of Release 7.2 or later.
  2. If applicable, merge configuration files. If you have not already done so, merge the files identified in Configuration, platform values, and remote execution files.
  3. Verify the installation. Verify the correct installation by unpacking a test database into the directory prepared for Rational Synergy databases, on the database server computer. If any of the following steps fail, contact IBM® Rational Software Support.
    1. Unpack a test database. Log on as the CM Administrator on the Rational Synergy server, and unpack a test database. Rational Synergy databases must be on an NTFS file system, and the ccmdb unpack command requires a UNC path name for the database to be created. For more information about the ccmdb unpack command, review the administration guide for Windows.
      ccmdb unpack "C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\Synergy\7.2 or later\packfiles\training.cpk" /t 
      \\server\share\testdb
    2. Start a Rational Synergy session on the test database. On the Windows taskbar, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational Tools > IBM Rational Synergy to view the Start Rational Synergy window.
      Note: The Start menu folder shown is the default program folder. Your folder might be different based on where you installed the program.

      If the Start Rational Synergy window opens, type the server URL in the Server field. Click Start to start the session.

Results

The installation is complete when the session starts.

What to do next

To stop the sessions, click the Close icon in the Rational Synergy client window, or click Task > Exit.
