Upgrading Non-ASE User Databases
Use the corresponding upgrade scripts for your non-ASE database. You cannot use rs_init for
non-ASE databases.
Go to the scripts subdirectory of your Replication Server installation directory for the upgrade
scripts.
For example, to upgrade an Oracle user database, run the hds_oracle_upgradedb.sql
script on the user database.
Restarting Replication Server
Restart Replication Server.
1. Modify the old runserver file, run_ servername .bat, where servername is your
Replication Server name, to replace the old binary with the new binary in %SYBASE%
\REP-15_5\bin\repserver, then start Replication Server from %SYBASE%
\REP-15_5\bin\repserver.
2. If you are using Adaptive Server as the RSSD, restart the RepAgent for the RSSD:
sp_start_rep_agent RSSD_name
3. Resume log transfer to Replication Server from all Replication Agents for primary
databases, and RSSD or eRSSD:
resume log transfer from all
4. If there are incoming routes to dest_rs, the Replication Server you upgraded and now

the source Replication Server to begin sending queued messages to dest_rs. At the source
Replication Server, execute:
