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.
Upgrades to RSSD or ERSSD and User Databases
After you upgrade the Replication Server RSSD or ERSSD, you must 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, and features such as Multi-Path Replication™.
Fixing User Database Upgrades with sysadmin upgrade, "database"
Apply upgrades to Adaptive Server or Sybase® IQ, primary, replicate, or standby databases in the replication system that failed to upgrade during the automatic upgrade process, or to databases that you excluded from the automatic upgrade process.
Upgrading an Adaptive Server User Database with rs_init
If you use rs_init to upgrade Replication Server and the RSSD or ERSSD, you must 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, and features such as Multi-Path Replication™.
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.
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.
