Use this page to specify the feature level for a user database
in a selected connection. Upgrading the feature level defines the features
enabled by the schema repository and its associated user databases. Repeat
this process for each user database.
Before performing the upgrade, back up the database and store
a copy at another location. You may not be able to restore the database to
its earlier state. You should also upgrade all the Rational ClearQuest clients
to the latest version, since older clients will not be able to work with databases
set to the latest feature level.
The following fields appear:
- New User Database Properties
- The Feature Level defaults to the same feature
level as the schema repository. If you are unsure about which features this
level will enable, see the Determine feature level topic.
- If you have created a new empty database for the user database, specify
the properties in the New User Database area. For information
on creating empty vendor database containers, see the chapter, Configuring
Vendor Databases in the IBM Rational ClearQuest and ClearQuest MultiSite
Installation and Upgrade Guide.
- If you perform an in-place upgrade, provide the properties of the Source
User Database in the New User Database area.
With an in-place upgrade, the new version of the database is written back
onto the original database file, replacing the previous database structure.
Keep in mind that when you specify database parameters,
case sensitivity may apply to the vendor database you choose.

MultiSite Installation and Upgrade Guide.
