Migrating from RSC for Piccolo 5.1 -- RSC/MP
6.x to RSC/MP 7.2
This section assumes that the Piccolo component has been installed and configured
from a previous version. The RSC/MP 7.2 host component supports connection
requests from RSC for Piccolo and RSC/MP clients 5.1 - 7.2, allowing for a mix of old
clients and new clients communicating with the new host component as long as the
clients are not using functionality that has been discontinued.
To migrate from RSC for Piccolo version 5.1 and later and RSC/MP 6.x to RSC/MP
7.2, do the following:
1. Install the new RSC/MP host component, see Section 3, Installing RSC/MP on the
Host.
2. (Optional) Verify an existing application can communicate with the new RSC/MP
host component. If the application uses features that have been discontinued in the
RSC/MP host, adjust the application as necessary.
3. Install the RSC/MP client. Follow the steps for installing RSC/MP that apply to your
platform (shown earlier in this manual).
4. Verify that the RSC/MP Transport (Piccolo) configuration is correct and a
connection can be made by using the PIPECP CONNECT command.
5. Verify the RSC/MP installation by using the RSCTEST or RSCTESTW program;
see Testing the RSC/MP Client Configuration on page 14-8.
6. Verify an existing application works with the new client.
Note. Some previous versions of the RSC client and the RSC host required a separate
installation of Piccolo. Piccolo is now installed with RSC/MP on all platforms. Older
versions of RSC and Piccolo should be removed.
