Downgrading Replication Agent 15.5 to 15.2 ESD #2

This section describes how to downgrade Replication Agent 15.5 to 15.2 ESD #2.

1. Change to the Replication Agent 15.5 bin directory:

   • On UNIX:

     cd $SYBASE/RAX-15_5/bin
     

   • On Windows:

     cd %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\bin
     

2. Log in to the Replication Agent for UDB 15.5 instance, and prepare for downgrade by running the ra_downgrade_prepare command at the Replication Agent instance from which you are downgrading (the current version):

   ra_downgrade_prepare inst_path
   

   Here, inst_path is the absolute path of the Replication Agent instance to which you are downgrading (the earlier version). The ra_downgrade_prepare command returns a message indicating that the downgrade was successful or an error message indicating that problems occurred.

3. Shut down the Replication instance by issuing the shutdown command.

4. Start and log in to the Replication Agent 15.2 instance, and run the ra_migrate command:

   ra_migrate
   

5. Resume replication.
