WARNING! To avoid problems with incomplete or incorrect scripts, apply Replication Server 12.6 EBFs dated February 6, 2004 or later before proceeding.

  1. Make backup copies of the RSM Server configuration files, in case you need to downgrade in the future

  2. Verify that you have the Replication Server 12.6 directory structure in place.

  3. Copy the .cfg file and the .rsm files from the %SYBASE\%SYBASE_RSM%\admin\config directory of the earlier version of Replication Server to the %SYBASE\%SYBASE_RSM%\admin\config directory of the Replication Server 12.6 installation.

  4. Copy any event scripts from the installation of the earlier version of Replication Server to the corresponding locations in the Replication Server 12.6 installation directory structure.

  5. Copy the RUN script from the %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_RSM%\install directory of the earlier version of Replication Server to the %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_RSM%\install directory of the Replication Server 12.6 installation.

  6. Verify that the sql.ini file in the Replication Server 12.6 installation has been updated with all the relevant RSM entries.

  7. Start RSM Server from the %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_RSM%\install directory of the Replication Server 12.6 installation.

  8. Log in to Sybase Central.
