You can revert to Replication Server version 15.5 from version 15.6 if you backed up your version 15.5 installation before upgrading to the existing version 15.5 directories.
- Shut down Replication Server 15.6.
See Replication Server Configuration Guide for UNIX > Start or Stop a Replication Server > Stopping a Replication Server Using isql.
- Back up the entire set of files and directories under
$SYBASE.
These contain the version 15.6 files.
- Restore the Replication Server 15.5 files and directories, from the backup you made before you upgraded from version 15.5 to version 15.6, to overwrite the directory structure under $SYBASE.
- Verify that the .cfg, interfaces, and run_repservername runserver files are configured to run Replication Server 15.5.
- If there was replication activity on the upgraded Replication Server prior to the downgrade process, copy the ERSSD from the back up of version 15.6 files in step 2, to the corresponding directories.
If you use an ERSSD, copy the dbfile, translog, errorlog, and backup directories to the corresponding locations . If you use SAMPLE_RS, copy all files and directories under $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver to the corresponding locations.
- Set the relevant environment variables in the SYBASE.env file.
See Replication Server Installation Guide for UNIX > Postinstallation Tasks > Environment Variables on UNIX.
- Start Replication Server 15.5 with the runserver file.
