Configuring your environment after upgrading
After upgrading Rational®
ClearQuest® and
installing any new components, there are series of tasks to perform
both to verify a successful upgrade, and to configure new or upgraded
components.
To determine what you need to configure, review the decisions you made when Planning your upgrade.
For information on printing Information Center topics, see Creating a PDF or printing

Note: ClearQuest v9.0.2 does not support connecting to the SQL database
from ClearQuest to AIX, Solaris and Unix.
