Upgrading the software

When a new version of software becomes available, you can perform an upgrade. Use IBM® Installation Manager to update the software installation.

Before you begin

If you upgrade from V9.1.0 or later of Rational® Test Control Panel, all communications with the software by default use HTTP on port 7819. To use HTTPS by default during the upgrade of the Rational® Test Control Panel software, you must use the Install option in IBM® Installation Manager and click Check for Other Versions, Fixes, and Extensions in the Install Packages dialog; otherwise, you continue to use HTTP on port 7819. You can change the port number and enable HTTPS even after the installation. For details, see Configuring the server HTTP Endpoint.

About this task

The procedure for upgrading the package is the same as installing, except that in IBM® Installation Manager, you choose Update instead of Install.

Note:

No direct upgrade paths to version 10.0.2 are supported. To upgrade Rational® Integration Tester, Rational® Test Control Panel, and Rational® Integration Tester Agent packages to version 10.0.2, uninstall any previously installed version and install version 10.0.2.
