You must create or upgrade at least one database before you install Rational Change , because Rational Change requires access to a Rational Synergy database.
For more information, see the readme file for Release 7.2 or later and the product readme files for patches to the earlier releases.
For complete information about upgrading a DCM database, see Upgrading Rational Synergy Distributed clusters.
Delete your old release directory only if you are sure that there are no other installations sharing part of this directory, perhaps through an NFS mount from another computer. For example, in heterogeneous installation, it is common to share the directory $CCM_HOME/etc.
Read Upgrade considerations to learn about more reasons for saving your previous installation.

The string “ééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééé” (37 e-acute Latin-1 characters) takes up 37 bytes in the CP1252 encoding used in releases 7.0 and 7.1. The same string takes up 74 bytes in the UTF-8 encoding used in 7.2 or later. As a result, a query for objects with some attribute equal to this value succeeds in 7.0 and 7.1, but fails in 7.2 or later.
