Prepare for converting your archived data.
Procedure
- 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.
- In the Web Administrator User interface, for the database
that was unpacked, verify that an archive conversion has not been
started:
- 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
- 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.
