Deciding the Upgrade Method to Use

Decide whether you want to upgrade Replication Server and associated databases using the simplified upgrade method with repserver or continue to upgrade with rs_init.

1. Use the repserver utility to upgrade the Replication Server RSSD or ERSSD, and user databases in one step.
   Optionally, continue to use rs_init to upgrade the Replication Server RSSD or ERSSD, and user databases in several steps.
2. Upgrade user databases in the replication system only if they failed to upgrade during seamless upgrade or if you excluded them from the upgrade process.
   To upgrade the user databases, use one of:

   • Fixing User Database Upgrades with sysadmin upgrade, "database"
   • Upgrading an Adaptive Server User Database with rs_init

   You can use sysadmin upgrade, "database" or rs_init to upgrade the user databases.
