If you have applied a package to a schema, you can upgrade the
schema to a newer version of the package when it is available.
To upgrade a schema to a new
version of a package:
- Start the Designer.
- In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer view, right-click
on the schema version whose packages you want to upgrade and click The Package Wizard opens and lists all available
package versions.
- Click . If
there are packages to upgrade, the Package Upgrade Plan window opens and displays
the available packages. Otherwise, you will see a message telling you that
there are no packages to upgrade.
- In the Pacakge Upgrade Plan window, select the schema
to upgrade.
Rational® ClearQuest® software
checks out the schema, identifies the packages that need to be upgraded, and
determines whether those packages have prerequisites.
On the Status
page, list of packages that need to be upgraded indicates the newest version
of each package that is compatible with the Rational ClearQuest data
code page of the schema repository. For schema repositories with data code
pages 932 or 60932 (Japanese) or 936 (Simplified Chinese), the latest translated
version is displayed. For other schema repositories, the latest English version
is displayed.
Packages are applied to the schema in
the correct order and the status for each is displayed.
- When the upgrade process is finished, read the status
message to verify that the package upgrade was successful.
- Validate your changes and then check in the schema
when you finish testing.
After the new schema version is checked in, upgrade any user databases
that use an earlier version of the schema.
You can then repeat
this process for the other schemas. After you have completed this process,
you can verify that the new package versions have been applied by following
the procedure described in Checking
which packages have been applied to a schema.
