How to manually upgrading an Endpoint server for Replicate

[David_Fergen]

Steps for manually upgrading an Endpoint server:

1. Stop AttunityReplicateServer and AttunityReplicateConsole services.  
2. Make sure that the endpoint server java.exe is not running.  If it is, kill it.  
3. Open a cmd.exe window as Administrator. (cd $QLIK_REPLICATE_INSTALL_ROOT\bin) 
4. repctl exportrepository - This will create the file $QLIK_REPLICATE_INSTALL_ROOT\data\imports\Replication_Definition.json 
5. Open the Replication_Definition.json in a text editor and look for the section for the Local Endpoint Server.  

   The section will be like this: 

  

 "endpoint_servers": [{ 

           "name": "Local", 

           "host": "localhost", 

           "port": 3560, 

           "password": "{ZASomeRandomLettersAndNumbersHereXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}", 

           ... 

       }] 

   Edit the password for that section, by changing it to say:  

   "endpoint_servers": [{ 

           "name": "Local", 

           "host": "localhost", 

           "port": 3560, 

           "password": "secretpassword", 

           ... 

       }] 

1. repctl importrepository json_file=Replication_Definition 
2. In Windows file explorer, rename the folder $QLIK_REPLICATE_INSTALL_ROOT\data\endpoint_srv\data to old.data 
3. Start AttunityReplicateServer and AttunityReplicateConsole services.  
4. Log into Replicate in the browser and your local endpoint server should have a green checkmark next to it for Status and it should list the Mongo and Salesforce endpoint types on the right side when you select it
