Update the Replication Engine Firmware

You might need to update the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine firmware when a new version becomes available.

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 cses, you will be required to restart the replication process for your protection plans. Consult the software update release notes 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.
