Supporting mixed environments for SQL Server

If the SQL Server database is running on a nondefault port or using a nondefault instance, all clients must be upgraded to latest version.

If you make any changes to the connection information for the schema repositories and user databases, then you must propagate a new connection profile to the Rational® ClearQuest® clients. For information, see Propagating connection information to clients.

Figure 1 shows the process.
