RSC/MP Installation and Configuration Guide

Migration to RSC/MP 7.3 Migrating from RSC/MP 6.x to RS C/MP 7.3
Migrating from RSC/MP 6.x to RSC/MP 7.3
This section assumes that the Piccolo component has been installed and configured
from a previous version. The RSC/MP 7.3 host component supports connection
requests from RSC/MP clients 6.x - 7.3, 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/MP 6.x to RSC/MP 7.3, 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 12-8.
6. Verify an existing application works with the new client.
