Performing the upgrade

Review the descriptions of each upgrade procedure to determine how to perform your upgrade.

You can have more than one installation, with the same or different versions, of Rational® Synergy on a given computer, for client and engine software. Your existing Rational Synergy databases can run on one or more servers.

On Windows, you cannot have more than one Rational Synergy Informix® server per computer, even for different releases of Rational Synergy. Installing a Rational Synergy 7.2 server on a Windows computer upgrades any previously existing Rational Synergy servers. It also disables the use of those servers under the earlier releases.

Method for performing upgrades

Follow the upgrade procedures for each server.
  • Create a 7.2 server on a different computer, and then, copy your databases to this new server, and upgrade them. Databases can be copied to the new server by using ccmdb pack. Then use ccmdb unpack. Perform this procedure when you test Rational Synergy 7.2. After you have completed testing, perform this procedure again when you upgrade production databases for live use.
