After you verify that the upgrade test is successful, you can upgrade your production databases.
If you plan to perform an in-place upgrade, that is specifying the same database as the source and target, skip the following instructions and see Upgrading the production databases.
If you are performing a standard upgrade, not an in-place upgrade, then the procedure for upgrading the production databases is the almost identical to upgrading test databases.
Create empty databases only. Do not use your vendor database tools to move or copy the data. Rational ClearQuest updates the data structure and moves it into the new databases as part of the upgrade process.
Do not perform this step if you are performing an in-place upgrade or using Microsoft Access.
