Preparing to upgrade

This section provides information on what to do before you start the upgrade process.

NoteFor upgrading, the Replication Server version should be 12.0 or later and the Adaptive Server containing the RSSD should be 12.5 or later. Upgrading from any earlier version requires an intermediate upgrade.

StepsBefore upgrading to Replication Server 15.0.1

  1. Back up your replication system.

  2. Read the release bulletin for your platform for any special installation instructions about installing or upgrading.

  3. Use rs_helpsub to check that all subscriptions are valid. If you have subscriptions that are not in a valid state before upgrading, the upgrade fails.

  4. Install Replication Server, following the instructions in the Replication Server Installation Guide for UNIX Platforms.
