The Windows server software must be installed and Informix® database servers must be upgraded by following these instructions. In addition, all Windows users must also have the 7.2 client installed. You cannot use older clients with 7.2 servers or new clients with servers from previous releases. To learn how to install Windows clients, see the installation documentation.
If you anticipate that the upgrade cannot run during your regular scheduled backups, builds, DCM transfers, and other background jobs, temporarily disable those scheduled activities. You must remember to turn them back on after the upgrade.
To see a list of operating system versions that the Rational Synergy Release 7.2 supports, see the Readme file.
