Management of Route Upgrades

A route is a one-way message stream, carrying replication data, from a source Replication Server to a destination Replication Server. With Replication Server 15.0, you can upgrade routes using the Replication Manager. In earlier versions, the RSM Server provided the route upgrade capability.

The Replication Manager displays a set of all routes in the Replication Server that are eligible to be upgraded. You can select one single route at a time for upgrade. Upon selection of a route, the Replication Manager runs the upgrade process in the background and reports any errors or warnings in the event log.The new route upgrade implementation also lets you:

Cancel a route upgrade process – the ability to cancel a route upgrade process. However, canceling can leave the replicate Replication Server in an unstable state.
Recover from an unsuccessful upgrade – a recovery procedure to reset the replicate RSSD. An unsuccessful upgrade can result from either an abnormal termination of the upgrade process or a cancellation of the upgrade process.

For more information on managing routes using Replication Manager, see the Replication Manager online help.

Limitations

You cannot currently upgrade multiple routes at the same time.
Route upgrade is supported only in an environment domain using the two-tier solution.
