Upgrading mainline branches

The Surround SCM database format may change between major and some minor releases. Database changes can be necessary to support new features and functionality. If the database format changes, you need to upgrade mainline branches to the new format. If a mainline branch name is appended with old database it needs to be upgraded. Before upgrading, make a backup copy of the mainline branch.

  1. Select the mainline branch you want to upgrade.
  2. Choose Tools > Administration > Upgrade Mainline Branch.
  3. You are prompted to confirm the upgrade.

  4. Click Yes.
  5. The mainline branch is upgraded.
