Upgrade Considerations

Review these upgrade considerations before you upgrade SAP Replication Server Data Assurance Option.

You can upgrade version 15.6 or later to 15.7.1 SP200.

• Windows Start Menu Shortcuts
  If you upgrade to SAP Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 SP200 without first uninstalling the previous version, the Windows Start Menu still contains shortcuts for 15.6 or 15.7 versions, even if it has been overwritten.
• Installer Parameters
  SAP Replication Server Data Assurance Option installer includes two parameters for configuring the DASD password: DA_SERVER_DASD_PASSWORD and DA_SERVER_DASD_PASSWORD_CONFIRM.
• Overwriting a Previous Installation
  SAP Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 SP200 is backward compatible with the SAP Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6 and 15.7 data structures, but additional considerations apply when you are overwriting an existing installation.
• Java Runtime Environment
  The installer for SAP Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 SP200 installs SAP JRE 7.1 Update 11, but it does not remove JRE 6.0 Update 20, which is used by 15.6 version. However, the corresponding registry entry indicates only JRE 7.0 Update 7.
