To upgrade when Replication Agent 15.1 is on Windows,
but the previous version is on UNIX or Linux
For each existing Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server instance, Sybase recommends that you back up the complete existing Replication Agent instance directory.
On the Windows host, create a substitute installation directory and instance subdirectories for the existing instances in the previous version of Replication Agent that is on the UNIX host:
On the Windows host, in the SYBASE directory in which you installed Replication Agent 15.1, create a directory with the name of the previous version of Replication Agent that you are upgrading from:
For Replication Agent 12.5, name the directory rax-12_5.
For Replication Agent 12.6, name the directory RAX-12_6.
For Replication Agent 15.0, name the directory RAX-15_0.
You will use this newly-created directory as the source directory for the upgrade.
In the directory you just created, create a subdirectory for each existing Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server instance that is on your UNIX host. The names of the instance subdirectories you create must exactly match the names of the instance subdirectories on the UNIX host
For each of the existing Replication Agent instances, copy its configuration (.cfg) file from the UNIX host into the instance subdirectory you created in the previous step. The instance configuration file on the UNIX host is located in the $SYBASE/rax-12_5/instname or the $SYBASE/RAX-nn_n/instname directory. Here, RAX-nn_n is the previous Replication Agent installation directory, and instname is the name of the instance.
Starting with step 3 of the procedure called “Replication Agent 15.1 is installed on the same Windows host as the previous version of Replication Agent, and the current version of Microsoft SQL Server is 7 or 2000”, follow the steps to complete the upgrade.
