This section includes a summary of issues to consider before
upgrading to Rational® Synergy 7.2 or later.
- Carefully test the following areas before upgrading to Release 7.2 or later:
- You can copy ObjectMake and the utilities used in Synergy 6.5
SP2 for archiving checked-in files to be used in Release 7.2 or later.
For more information, see Copying ObjectMake and utilities from Release 6.5.
- Consider whether upgrading is necessary. Rational Synergy 7.2 or later does
not include all product features included in previous releases. If
you need these features, you might choose not to upgrade to Release 7.2 or later,
and plan to upgrade to a later release. This includes the following
features:
- Full DCM support is not provided in the GUI. This release provides
full DCM support only from the CLI.
- The 7.1 Migration Facility is no longer supported. A new CLI-only
migration facility supports migration from the file system.
- Save Offline and Delete is supported from the CLI only.
- Type definition is supported from the CLI only.
- Certain seldom-used classic CLI commands, such as ccm
collapse, are not supported.
- Certain seldom-used classic GUI features, such as the attribute
list, are not supported.
