Can't upgrade RTC 2.0 client to 3.0 client

5 answers

Hi,
What is the reason why I can't upgrade RTC 2.0 client to 3.0 using IBM IM? For some reason IM doesn't see the upgrade. I guess we are forced to do a fresh install, but why?
Thanks,
Dom
Hi Dom
This is not supported at the moment - there is a discussion about this here:
http://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=140731
and a completed fix here (3.0 iFix1)

When is the planned release date for iFix 1? Also, just out of curiosity, if the offering names would have matched betweem 2.0 and 3.0, would an upgrade be ok?

Hi
You can check the currently planned release dates for RTC in the Plans on this site. For example:
http://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.apt.search&predef=current&tq=1298320904000
and it looks like the current "plan" is for this to be available on the 11th March.
I don't quite understand the question about offering names (sorry)

Anthony,
I just tried to upgrade my RTC client (IBM IM Update option) from 2.0.0.2 iFix5 to 3.0 iFix1 - still doesn't work, I am forced to do a separate install.
So, what was fixed in 140982?

Ah- ok. We don't support upgrading the client directly - you need to install a new client rather than upgrading the client.
