Tip: By default, the reporting tool is installed as a Windows service and can be configured as a service on UNIX platform. See Starting Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool on system startup.

Attention: If the agent is already configured with the reporting tool, when you upgrade, the reporting tool shows the reporting status as Not Running. When you select Start reporting for the first time, the log file conversion process begins. Depending on the size of your server log file, it can take time for the initial conversion of the data. The system must convert the data in the entire log to the required format.

Important: All necessary data is backed up within installation location. When you log in to the Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool as default user, 'rcladmin' setup page opens which takes you through the migration process.

Attention: After upgrade, Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool have only default user 'rcladmin'. Recreate the users or reconfigure the LDAP (if old Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool was configured with LDAP).
