Overview The D_12_7_4 patch release for the Rational Environment is primarily a maintenance release, for the D_12_7_3 Release of the Environment which contains: * Fixes problems from previous releases, enabling existing commands to work correctly. * Adds new features and information. 2. Supported Configurations and Upgrades D_12_7_4 supports the following configurations of the R1000: * Series 200 (Models 10, 20, and 40) * Series 300 System (300S) * Series 300 Coprocessor (300C) for the IBM RISC System/6000 and Sun Workstation servers * Series 400 System (400S) 3. Compatibility D_12_7_4 is fully compatible with all production versions of Rational layered-software products (See Table 2 of the D_12_7_3 Release Note for a complete list). 4. Upgrade Impact You must be running D_12_7_3 in order to install this patch release. If you are running an earlier release you will need to upgrade to D_12_7_3 first, before you can install this patch release. The Environment can be upgraded to D_12_7_4 without forcing you to Archive.Save and Archive.Restore your applications. You will not have to modify or recompile any of your own tools. Rational does not provide tools for reverting to previous releases of the Environment. You will be able to revert to the previous release, however, if you make a complete backup of the Environment, including the Diagnostic File System (DFS), before you upgrade. 5. Known Problems There are no known problems introduced by this D_12_7_4 patch. RATIONAL May 1993 1\f Rational Environment Patch Release Information Release D_12_7_4 6.
