Upgrade selected connection

Use these pages to upgrade the feature level of a connection, which consists of a schema repository and its associated user databases. If you are upgrading from feature level 3, the Maintenance Tool also upgrades the metaschema version of the schema repository.

Upgrading the feature level

The feature level defines the features enabled by the schema repository and user databases. To determine the feature level of your databases, see the Determine feature level topic. 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:

Schema Repository Properties
Provides the Vendor database and Properties for the schema repository.

Proceeds to the next page.

The Maintenance Tool then displays the following message:

The specified repository has one or more user databases that require upgrading. Do you want to upgrade the user databases associated with the schema repository? Do you want to upgrade them now?
Select Yes to upgrade the feature level for the user databases associated with the schema repository. Select No to continue upgrading the schema repository and not the user databases in the connection.
Note: Keep in mind that user databases are locked during the upgrade process. The database lock is temporary; users will not be able to access the database until the upgrade is completed.

For more information on upgrading, see the IBM Rational ClearQuest and ClearQuest MultiSite Installation and Upgrade Guide.
