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™.
Upgrading an RSSD or ERSSD may
add new Replication Server system tables, add new rows or columns to existing tables, or
install new stored procedures. To accommodate changes that support the new version of
Replication Server to which you are upgrading, repserver or rs_init applies upgrades
to user databases such as a primary, replicate, or standby database in the replication
system.
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 Replication Server to 15.7 and
later.
- SAP® IQ – Replication Server suspends replicate connections to
the SAP IQ replicate databases after you upgrade Replication Server to 15.7.1 or
later, and you see a "Awaiting Upgr" status if you use admin who. You can upgrade the SAP IQ database using one of:
- repserver -upgr –
upgrades Replication Server at the same time
- sysadmin
upgrade,'database' – after upgrading Replication Server
with rs_init or repserver with the -nodb option
- Oracle – Replication Server suspends replicate
connections to the Oracle replicate databases after you upgrade Replication
Server to 15.7.1 SP101 or later, and you see a "Awaiting Upgr" status if you use
admin who. You can upgrade the Oracle database using one of:
- repserver -upgr – upgrades Replication Server at the
same time
- sysadmin upgrade,'database' – after upgrading
Replication Server with rs_init or
repserver with the -nodb
option
