Before you can restart Replication Servers and LTMs with Replication Server version 12.6, you must upgrade the RSSDs so that they are compatible with the new executable programs. You may also need to upgrade your user databases.
Upgrading to Replication Server version 12.6
Upgrade the RSM Servers.
Upgrade the RSSDs.
Upgrade primary, replicate, and standby user databases.
If you have already upgraded SQL Server databases to Adaptive Server 12.6, upgrade LTMs to RepAgents. See “Upgrading RepAgent threads in Adaptive Server databases”.
Restart the Adaptive Servers and Replication Servers, as well as LTMs if you are still using SQL Server databases.
Decide whether to set the replication site version to the new version. If you do, the new features are available, but you cannot downgrade to an earlier version.
