ClearQuest Email Notification Package Installation


Backup your schema repository and users databases

There is no simple way to uninstall package when schema changes are applied to the user database. Please make sure that you created backup to be able to roll back the change if necessary.

It is strongly recommended to test it on a test copy of your schema first. Also, it would make sense to use it with the same database vendor as your production database. In this case, you can minimize risks and safely deploy the package to your production schema and database later.
