   Stop Replication Agent and quiesce Replication Server to purge all inbound queues.
2. Upgrading an RSSD or an ERSSD

   Retry the upgrade process if it fails.
4. Upgrading an Adaptive Server User Database in a Replication System
   Apply upgrades to a primary, replicate, or standby database in the replication system to accommodate changes, such as installing new stored procedures, that support the new version of Replication Server to which you are upgrading.
5. Commit a Local Site to a New Version Level
   After you upgrade a Replication Server and its user databases, you must decide whether to commit to the new Replication Server version level. Decide whether to set the replication site version to the new version and whether to upgrade the route version to the new version.
6. Backing Up the RSSD or ERSSD
   Back up the RSSD or ERSSD after upgrading the Replication Server, setting its site version, and performing route upgrades to the relevant routes.
