Upgrading a Replication Agent instance

Use the ra_admin -u option to upgrade instances of Replication Agent. See “Using the ra utility”.

Upgrading an instance at the same release level

The ra_admin -u source_installation_dir can be used to upgrade instances of Replication Agent in the specified directory from the current installation directory. This is sufficient if the ra_admin utility is being used after a major release, because the specified installation directory will be different from the current installation directory. However, to upgrade a Replication Agent instance after an ESD or EBF has been applied, the current installation directory name has not changed. The upgrade must take place within the same directory. In this case, the ra_admin -u source_installation_dir cannot be used. In this case, you must use ra_admin -u all or ra_admin -u instance_name|instance=instance_name to upgrade an instance or instances.
