How to migrate RTC 2.0.0.2 to RTC 3.0 M8

I need help with migration RTC 2.0.0.2 to RTC 3.0 M8 with data saved in database DB2 with using LDAP. What file to download (RTC runs on Ubuntu 9.04, 64bit, Server edition) and how to migrate.

Thanks.

Hi Vlada,

This is no official update document!

You can always download milestones like 3.0 M8 form https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/milestones/. I'd suggest to check the "New & Note Worthy", the "Releasenotes" as well as the "Getting Started" tab for the Milestone you download and for some milestones before that. In you case you should look at least also at 3.0 Beta 1 https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/milestones/3.0M7a?p=releasenotes
. In Milestones the data is not always consolidated and complete.

I am not aware of any formal upgrade scenario, so I can't point you at it, some information is given in the Beta 1 Description. I gave it a short try myself (with derby) and here is some additional info I can provide:

1. When installing a new Instance of 3.0 check the migrate from Team Concert checkbox (or RQM should you migrate that). This will result in a deployment where the 3.0 URI Root stays compatible to 2.0.0.2. The URL to RTC will stay https://server:port/jazz/.

2. Create a new DB2 database. (I think you could also create a copy of your DB2 database for 3.0 but am not sure)

3. Export your 2.0.0.2 repository with repotools

4. Modify the teamserver.properties, server.xml of 3.0 to point to your new database and enable LDAP. (You could also delay LDAP setup for later to make it easier if you run on Tomcat)

5. Run https://server:port/jazz/setup for RTC. Make sure you can connect to the database and LDAP works correct.

6. Run the 3.0 repotools for RTC. Note there are more repotools now you want to run repotools-ccm. Use repotools to imort your 2.0.0.2 export.

7. Run repotools -addTables

8. Not sure but I ran also a repotools -reIndex

Please also note that this is not a supported configuration it is experimental. Make sure as noted in the documentation not to destroy your production environment. Maybe use a VMWare for tests.

Hope this gives you an idea. You also want to search this forum and the Rational Workbench for CLM forum for information. The latter for instance contains a thread you might want to read: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11834

Thanks,

Ralph

Please ensure you read the topic about upgrading in the 3.0 M8 release notes. You should choose the right option during the install to deploy the CCM application to the /jazz context root. Also read the topic in the release notes about running the repotools commands. There are two commands you will have to run in order to upgrade from 2.0.0.2 to 3.0. Please ensure you do this with a copy of your database and not on a production database as we strong recommend against upgading a production system to an interim milestone.
