Update ARS 7.3.1 => 7.4.3 with Publisher / Subscriber mode

Hello all !

I hope you are well ;)

I'm trying to update Active Roles 7.3.1 to 7.4.3 on two servers with a Publisher / Subscriber replication database configuration.

I understood that it was necessary to go back to Standalone mode on each server.

But when I'm in the Service administration, Configuration Database, and I do a right click on a a database, I don't have Standalone ....

What did I not understand in this SQL operating mode?

Thank you in advance for your help ;)

  • When you right click on the database, do you see the option for Demote? This would be how you can place the databases back to Standalone mode.

    However, breaking the replication model is not really necessary when performing an upgrade. The upgrade process involves the importing of the data from 7.3.1 into a new 7.4.3 database. You can import from a database that is a Publisher and the new 7.4.3 database will become a Standalone database after the import. The replication model will then need to be recreated once the other subscriber(s) are upgraded to 7.4.3 and their new, empty databases created. You can Promote the original Publisher back to being a 7.4.3 Publisher and then add the remaining, newly upgraded servers by adding them as Replication Partners.

  • Hello Richard,

    Thank you for your reply. 

    I don't have the Depromote option when I right click on the database.

    I will try to update and put the publisher / subscriber back after upgrade.

    I found this article in the knowledge base:

    support.oneidentity.com/.../unable-to-demote-database-from-the-publisher-role-or-delete-subscribers

     

    I will keep you posted on the outcome once the update is complete ;)
