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 7.2\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. 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.
If there is a filter on the base model attribute 'system_filename_filters' as shown in this example:
*.XYZ
Then you should convert this filter by using the mapping rules syntax as shown in this example, and the converted rule has to be updated on the base model attribute 'mapping_rules':
WHEN %name =~ '.*\\.XYZ' IGNORE
