Important: Starting in Version 3.1,
IBM Data Studio client includes
the features and functionality previously provided in the IBM® Optim™ Development
Studio and IBM Optim Database Administration products. Due
to the feature enhancements in
Data Studio client,
you cannot use the update feature in
Installation Manager to
upgrade past versions of IBM Data
Studio, IBM Optim Development Studio, or IBM Optim Database
Administration to
Data Studio client Version
3.1 or later.
To upgrade from past versions of IBM Data Studio, IBM Optim Development Studio, or IBM Optim Database
Administration, you can choose from the following options:
- Install Data Studio client Version
3.1 or later into a new package group:
- If you choose to install Data Studio client into
a new package group, any existing products that are installed on your
computer are unaffected.
- Install Data Studio client Version
3.1 or later into an existing package group:
- If you choose to install Data Studio client into
an existing package group that contains any of the following products,
those products are silently uninstalled before Data Studio client Version
3.1 or later is installed:
- IBM Data Studio Version
3.1 or earlier
- IBM Optim Development Studio Version 2.2.x or earlier
- IBM Optim Database Administrator Version 2.2.x
or earlier
- (For Data Studio Version 3.1.1 and earlier) IBM Optim Query
Tuner client Version 3.1 or earlier
All saved workspace information is unaffected by the silent uninstallation
process.
Restriction: Starting with
IBM Data Studio client Version
3.1.1, the product base is Eclipse 3.6.x. Because products that are
based on Eclipse 3.4.x are not compatible with products that are based
on Eclipse 3.6.x, you cannot use the
Update wizard
to update instances of
IBM Data Studio client Version
3.1 and earlier. You must install
IBM Data Studio client Version
3.1.1 and later into a new package group or an existing package group
that contains other compatible products. For information about other
compatible products, see
Compatibility with other products.
