Upgrading on Windows › The Upgrade Wizard

The Upgrade Wizard

Use the Upgrade Wizard to upgrade the CA Harvest SCM server, client, and agent from a previous product release (Release 12.0 and Release 12.1) to the current release. The Upgrade Wizard automatically detects all existing product components from supported releases on a local computer and upgrades them to the current release, in their existing locations. In addition, the Upgrade Wizard backs up your existing supported product release settings, forms, and configuration files and restores them for use with the current release.

The Upgrade Wizard should not be used to:

• Upgrade any product component from a release other than Release 12.x.
• Upgrade a CA Harvest SCM installation that uses an Ingres database.

  Note: Reconfigure an Ingres database to a supported database and then use the Upgrade Wizard to upgrade a CA Harvest SCM installation that uses an Ingres database.

• Change your database.
• Change the location of any component already installed, except for a network client.
• Change the options for any component being upgraded, or add new options. All existing options are updated and you cannot delete them.
• Upgrade the plug-in for Eclipse option.
• Specify the specific components to be upgraded.

If any of these situations apply, you must manually upgrade the component.

Note: On Windows, the product includes the SDK (HSDK), the Java HSDK (JHSDK), and the Component Object Model SDK (COM SDK). If you run the Upgrade Wizard on a computer that has the Release 12.x client installed, the Upgrade Wizard automatically installs the current release of the HSDK, JHSDK, and COM SDK while upgrading the client to the current release. This action applies to local and network clients.
