Replication Agent 15.5 is installed on a Windows host, but the earlier version is installed on a UNIX or Linux host, and the current version of Microsoft SQL Server is 2005

On the Windows host, create a substitute installation directory and instance subdirectories for the existing instances in the earlier version of Replication Agent that is on the UNIX host:

1. On the Windows host, in the SYBASE directory in which you installed Replication Agent 15.5, create a directory with the name of the earlier version of Replication Agent that you are upgrading from. 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.

2. 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. Within each of these instance subdirectories that you just created, create two subdirectories named log and scripts.

3. 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-nn_n/instname directory. Here, RAX-nn_n is the previous Replication Agent installation directory, and instname is the name of the instance.
