You can revert to an earlier Replication Server version in the
existing directories if you backed up your earlier version before upgrading to same
directories.
- Back up the entire
set of files and directories under %SYBASE%.
These contain the current Replication Server version files.
- Downgrade Replication Server using the procedure in Downgrading Replication Server.
- Back
up the Replication Server ERSSD or RSSD after completing the downgrade procedure in
step 2.
- To overwrite the
directory structure under %SYBASE%, restore the files and
directories from the backup you made before you upgraded to the current
Replication Server version.
- Verify that the
.cfg, sql.ini, and
run_repservername runserver files
are configured to run the version of Replication Server you are downgrading
to.
- If there was replication activity on the upgraded
version of Replication Server prior to the downgrade process,
verify
that you are using the downgraded version of RSSD files, otherwise restore the ERSSD
or RSSD from the backup you have made in step 3.
If you use an ERSSD, copy the dbfile, translog, errorlog, and backup directories to the corresponding locations. If you use
SAMPLE_RS, copy all files and directories under %SYBASE%\REP-15_5\samp_repserver to the corresponding
locations.
- Set the relevant environment variables in the SYBASE.env
file.
See Environment
Variables on Windows in the Replication Server Installation
Guide.
- Start the downgraded Replication Server version with the runserver file.
See
Runserver File in the Replication Server Configuration
Guide for Windows.
