Upgrade Considerations

You can upgrade Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6 to Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7. Please review these upgrade considerations before you upgrade Replication Server Data Assurance Option.

• Windows Start Menu Shortcuts
  If you upgrade to Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7 without first uninstalling the 15.6 version, the Windows Start Menu still contains shortcuts for Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6, even if you have overwritten the previous version.
• New Installer Parameters
  Two new installer parameters have been added for Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7 for configuring the DASD password: DA_SERVER_DASD_PASSWORD and DA_SERVER_DASD_PASSWORD_CONFIRM.
• Upgrades Overwriting a Previous Installation
  Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7 is backwardly compatible with the Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6 data structures, but additional considerations apply when you are overwriting an existing installation.
• Java Runtime Environment
  The installer for Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7 installs JRE 6.0 Update 24, but it does not remove JRE 6.0 Update 20, which is used by Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6. However, the corresponding registry entry indicates only JRE 6.0 Update 24.
