Issues to consider before upgrading

This section includes a summary of issues to consider before upgrading to Rational® Synergy 7.2.
  1. Carefully test the following areas before upgrading to Release 7.2:
    • All archived data that was checked in while running previous releases
    • ObjectMake, if you depend on it

      For detailed information, see Data testing.

  2. 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. For more information, see Copying ObjectMake and utilities from Release 6.5.
  3. Consider whether upgrading is necessary. Rational Synergy 7.2 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, 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.
