Perform these post-upgrade steps:
If you saved a modified copy of the previous ptcli configuration file as described in Saving the previous installation, merge it at this time. The ptcli file is:
Program Files\IBM Rational\IBM Rational Synergy 7.2x\etc\ptcli.cfg
The upgrade process stops and renders unusable the previous release on the upgraded server.
To disable 7.0, 7.1, or 7.1a services:
The string “ééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééé” (37 e-acute Latin-1 characters) takes up 37 bytes in the CP1252 encoding used in Rational Synergy 7.0 and 7.1. The same string takes up 74 bytes in the UTF-8 encoding used in Rational Synergy 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.
