Preparing for your archived data conversion

Prepare for converting your archived data.

Procedure

  1. Use these guidelines to plan you archive conversion:
    • Rational Synergy releases before 7.0

      If your database originated before release 7.0, and you previously used ccm_copy_tools to copy the 6.5 GNU archiver to your 7.0 or 7.1 installation, you must run the ccm_copy_tools command after you install 7.2 or later. Running the ccm_copy_tools command ensures that any unconverted GNU archives can be read.

      The archive version in Rational® Synergy 7.1 is "1."

      >ccm attr -show _archive_version @81

      1

    • Rational Synergy 7.1 to release 7.1.0.1

      In Rational Synergy 7.1.0.1, some of the archive attributes were updated. You must perform this conversion even if you performed the archive conversion in 7.1. The old archive folders are not available.

      The archive version in Rational Synergy 7.1.0.1 is "2."

      >ccm attr -show _archive_version @81

      2

    • Rational Synergy 7.1.0.1 to release 7.2

      If you performed an archive conversion on the database in 7.1.0.1, then you do not need to run the process in 7.2. If you did not perform the archive conversion in 7.1.0.1, then you must perform an archive conversion.

  2. In the Web Administrator User interface, for the database that was unpacked, verify that an archive conversion has not been started:
    1. Go to http://HostName:ccm_server_port_number/admin:

      where HostName:ccm_server_port_number is the server and port number on which the web administration interface is located.

      Example: http://hawk:8890/admin

    2. Under Status, verify that the status is Not started.

What to do next

Run the ccm fs_check command to check for file system archive errors. You must resolve all errors and issues before you start the archive conversion.
