Upgrade notes for ClearCase on Windows

Before upgrading DevOps Code ClearCase®, review known issues and limitations, gather required information, and complete any necessary system configuration changes.

  • Review technote 7109801 to learn about any known problems or limitations that are related to installation and upgrade.
  • When you plan an upgrade, make a backup of the data in the C:\Program Files\DevOps\Code\ClearCase\var\rgy directory of the registry server.
  • Before you upgrade your license server, copy your license key string to a text file. When you install your new license server, copy the license key string from the text file.
  • When you upgrade your registry server, you must set your registry password. See Setting and using the DevOps Code ClearCase registry password.
  • If you plan to host ACL-enabled VOBs, see Planning support for ACL-enabled VOBs and VOB objects for information about preparing the ClearCase environment to enable and enforce ACL authorization of VOBs and VOB objects.
  • On Windows systems, disable terminal services before upgrading server components to prevent users from accessing server resources during the upgrade process.
