Update the Firmware

Prerequisites

Updated software package from My Oracle Support
Checksum file from My Oracle Support

Important: Ensure that all of the Replication Engines have the same software version. Oracle does not support Replication Engines that have different software versions in the same configuration.

Important: The software update can be a disruptive process. Replication will be interrupted, and, in some cases, you will be required to restart the replication process for your protection plans. Consult the software update release to determine if the update is disruptive, and whether a restart is required to fully apply the update.

During the update process, the Oracle MaxRep Support Agent stops the replication services, applies the software update, and then restarts the replication services.

Log in to the Support User Interface page on the control service Replication Engine.
Result:
The Dashboard page displays.
Select Management Tasks > Software Updates.
From the Host list, select either a single host, or select All Servers to select the Replication Engines that are available in the replication configuration.
Click Browse and locate the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine software package.
Enter the Build Checksum value.
The build checksum is included in a file named md5sum.txt that is included with the update bundle from My Oracle Support.
To upload the software update to the Replication Engine, click Upload.

When you click Upload, the system displays the Task Status page. You can monitor the update progress and, in some cases, cancel the change from this page.

Note: If the replication software does not restart after 10 minutes, contact Oracle Customer Support.

When the update completes, the services restart and the new software version displays in the Versions and Updates field in the Dashboard.
