Replication Agent instance fails to start after upgrading a version 15.0 on a UNIX platform to a Windows platform

[CR# 490356] When you upgrade a Replication Agent 15.0 instance to version 15.1 or later by migrating from a non-Microsoft Windows platform to a Microsoft Windows platform, the instance may encounter this error during start up:

Error setting logging directory for instance XXX because: <Log directory <YYY> does not exist>.

Workaround: After upgrading the Replication Agent instance, edit its configuration file to modify the value of the log_directory parameter to point to the correct path of the Replication Agent instance log directory. By default, the log directory resides under the Replication Agent instance directory.

For example, change this line:

log_directory=/opt/Sybase/RAX-15_0/myra/log

to

log_directory=c\:\\sybase\\RAX-15_5\\myra\\log

NoteOn Microsoft Windows, include the double backslashes as shown in the example.
