Technote (troubleshooting)
Problem(Abstract)
Applying an iFix or Fixpack to a Rational Synergy 7.x database fails, reporting that it needs a patch that is already installed.
Symptom
Here is an example of the failure:
ccm_patch -dbonly $CCM_HOME/patches/7.1.0.2.02 <dbpath>
This patch (7.1.0.2.02) needs patch 7.1.0.2
First apply patch 7.1.0.2 to <dbpath>,
then apply 7.1.0.2.02 to <dbpath>
Cause
Incorrect version of the ccm_patch utility being used.
Environment
Rational Synergy 7.x on UNIX/Linux server
Resolving the problem
Use the correct version of the ccm_patch installer to resolve this problem.
To check the version of your current ccm_patch, run the command
ccm_patch -version
Currently, fixpacks and iFixes to Rational Synergy 7.1 or 7.2 require version 47 of the ccm_patch utility. Download the required version from the same web page hosting the fixpack or iFix.
The current version of the ccm_patch installer script can be accessed from the following URL:
