Planning the upgrade
Review the planning information in
the installation guide before upgrading.
For more information,
see Planning the installation.
As you plan and complete your upgrade, use the Required information worksheet you completed during installation as a reference.
Important: Do not install
more than one instance of Rational Publishing Engine on
the same computer. If you do install more than one instance of Rational Publishing Engine on
the same computer, the RPE_HOME environment variable
might be affected which could result in the following issues:
- Document generations from Rational DOORS® might fail because the DXL files and the .inc files might not match.
- Microsoft Word macros might not run because the runmacro.vbs script and the rpe.dot macro files might require different arguments than the ones being issued.
- HTML output might not be created because driver code might not be able to find the correct JavaScript files.
After you have completed all of the required planning tasks, you can begin the pre-upgrade tasks. Refer to the Pre-upgrade tasks for details.
