ClearCase® and ClearQuest® OSLC integrations upgrade notes

Before you upgrade an environment that uses the ClearQuest® OSLC REST API to communicate between ClearCase® UCM and ClearQuest®, review the important information about upgrade procedures and requirements.

You can upgrade the ClearQuest® Web Server without requiring all of the ClearCase® LAN clients (cleartool, Project Explorer, DevOps ClearCase® Explorer, for example) to be upgraded.
If the ClearQuest® Web Server and ClearCase® Remote Client CM Server are deployed on the same system, both components must be upgraded at the same time.
