 Sorry, my question was truncated. 
We came from a DM 5.0 and Rhapsody 8.1 with DM extension 5.0 working installation.
I was meaning to say that if you try to follow Rhapsody 8.1.2 help instructions you will be referred to an empty page.
So I used 8.1.1 instructions.
Our installation uses Websphere, so we upgraded the WAR images of DM, VVC, VVCHELP, and then we run the upgrade scripts. Apparently on the server all is fine, the previously saved project are visible, with some small problems (more later).
We did not run the scripts such as this one

repotools-vvc -vvc_online_migrationCommand credentialsFile=credentials.txt fromVersion=5.0 logLevel=DEBUG logPort=52000

because it is not clear whether they are to be run, it depends which source you use.

Anyway, if we tried to run these scripts, what comes out is the following, with problems on the credentials.txt file:

We have also installed the DM extension on one of our PCs, where Rhapsody 8.1.2 is installed.
There is no way we have been able to connect Rhapsody to DM, we keep having the message "400 Bad Request" whenever we try to insert our credentials.

There is something fishy there, as we get the same "Bad Request" message whatever user id we enter, whether they are DM user ID or false / invented ID. That means that Rhapsody DM extension do not even bother to look up to the DM server.

The questions are the following:
1) is there something wrong with the upgrade procedure we followed ? Were we right in not executing the repotools-vvc etc. script ? I hope I inserted all the needed details
2) any advice on the Rhapsody issue ?

Can somebody help or is a PMR needed ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Bruno,

I do see the 5.0.2 upgrade steps in the following pages:
http://www-03preprod.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB2MU_8.1.2/com.ibm.rcam.install.doc/topics/t_upgrade_dm_single.html?lang=en
or
 help  http://www-03preprod.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB2MU_8.1.2/com.ibm.rcam.install.doc/topics/t_upgrade_dm_distributed.html?lang=en

The command repotools-vvc.bat -vvc_online_migrationCommand credentialsFile=credentials.txt fromVersion=<previous_version> logPort=52000 logLevel=DEBUG is definitely needed for the upgrade to be complete.
It needs to be run before the DM upgrade otherwise the DM upgrade is likely going to fail.

Looking at your error it seems to be related to the authorization. In the helps there is the following tip:
If this repotools-vvc command stops immediately with an authorization error, verify that the server is running and that the user Id and password in the credentials file are correct.
If this does not help, I would recommend you to open a PMR.

Regards,
François

 Thanks for the answer. We have tried a number of times to run the batch file, but the results are always the same as above.

We wonder if there is a particular way to write the credentials.txt file, i.e. the use of some character such as " or ' or <.
The example given is pretty clear and seems clean but the nagging feeling that something is wrong remains.
As of now all servers (Oracle, WebSphere and JTS) are running, so unless you can advice on a different server which I cannot imagine right now, probably it is best to follow your advice about opening a PMR.
