Upgrade the feature level of the user database

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.

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