Upgrading from a Replication Server 7.x installation on Linux v7

If you have an existing Replication Server 7.x installation on Linux, you can use yum to upgrade your repository configuration file and update to a more recent product version. To update the edb.repo file, assume superuser privileges and enter:

yum upgrade edb-repo

yum updates the edb.repo file to enable access to the current EDB repository, configured to connect with the credentials specified in your edb.repo file. Then, you can use yum to upgrade any installed packages:

yum upgrade edb-xdb*

If you're upgrading from a Replication Server 6.2 installation on Linux, see Upgrading from a Replication Server 6.2 installation on Linux for details.

After upgrading and before using Replication Server, you need to download a JDBC driver and create a symlink to it. See Installing a JDBC driver for more information.
