If you use rs_init to upgrade SAP
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 SAP Replication Server to which you are
upgrading, and features such as Multi-Path Replication.
If
you do not apply the upgrades to replicate databases such as:
- SAP ASE – you cannot use Multi-Path Replication for
replication to SAP ASE databases after you upgrade SAP Replication Server to
15.7 and later.
- SAP IQ – SAP Replication Server suspends replicate
connections to the SAP IQ replicates after you upgraded SAP Replication
Server to version 15.7.1 or later, and you see a "Awaiting Upgr" status if
you use admin who.
- Start rs_init.
- Select Upgrade an existing database in the replication system from the
Configure Replication System window, then choose Continue.
- Enter the information from the “Database Setup
Worksheet” for the upgraded Replication Server:
- Name of the Adaptive Server that manages the database you
are upgrading.
- Name of the database you are upgrading.
- Login name for the “sa” user on the Adaptive Server that
manages the database that you are upgrading. The default value is
“sa.”
- Adaptive Server “sa” user password.
- Login name for the maintenance user on the Adaptive Server
that manages the database that you are upgrading. The default is
“database_maint,” where “database” is the name of the database you
are upgrading.
- Select Continue. rs_init performs the upgrade.
- If you have more Replication Servers or databases to upgrade, repeat the procedures to stop Replication Agent and quiesce Replication Server, upgrade RSSD or ERSSD, and upgrade Adaptive Server databases.
