Surround SCM 2009 also includes other minor bug fixes.

The Surround SCM database format changed to RDBMS format. The upgrade can take a few minutes to an entire day, depending on the size and complexity of the existing database. Before upgrading, we strongly recommend that you run the Surround SCM 2008 Analyze Utility to analyze and repair any data issues in the existing server database.

If you upgrade from Surround SCM 5.x or later, the server database is automatically upgraded to Surround SCM 2008 format before it is upgraded to RDBMS format. We recommend backing up the server database before installation because you cannot revert back to the flat file database format after upgrading to Surround SCM 2009.
