Upgrade Considerations

You can upgrade Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6 and later to Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 SP100. Review these upgrade considerations before you upgrade Replication Server Data Assurance Option.

• Windows Start Menu Shortcuts
  If you upgrade to Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 SP100 without first uninstalling the previous version, the Windows Start Menu still contains shortcuts for Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6 or 15.7, even if it has been overwritten.
• Installer Parameters
  Replication Server Data Assurance Option installer includes two parameters for configuring the DASD password: DA_SERVER_DASD_PASSWORD and DA_SERVER_DASD_PASSWORD_CONFIRM.
• Overwriting a Previous Installation
  Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 SP100 is backwardly compatible with the Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6 and 15.7 data structures, but additional considerations apply when you are overwriting an existing installation.
• Java Runtime Environment
  The installer for Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 SP100 installs JRE 7.0 Update 7, but it does not remove JRE 6.0 Update 20, which is used by Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.6. However, the corresponding registry entry indicates only JRE 7.0 Update 7.
