Hi , 

       When tried to upgrade the repository as suggested in the log while installing qlik replicate  encountered the following error.

C:\>"C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin\RepUiCtl.exe" repository upgrade --repository "E:\Replicate\Data\GlobalRepo.sqlite"
Executing UpgradeRepositoryCommand command.
Upgrade operation failed (reason: REPO-E-OBNTIMRE, Object 'DTObject' does not implement IRepositoryRegistrationType interface.)

@NithinPannala 

-what version did you upgrade from ?

-did you do any downgrade ?

[SwathiPulagam]

Hi @NithinPannala ,

Run below command from cmd as administrator:

bin>RepUiCtl.exe repository upgrade --repository "<data folder>\GlobalRepo.sqlite"



Example: RepUiCtl.exe repository upgrade --repository "d:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\data\GlobalRepo.sqlite"

This will be applicable from upgrade or downgrade.

Thanks,

Swathi

@Steve_Nguyen  I have done a downgrade from 2023.5.0.125 to 2022.11.0.394 as I have encountered an error while doing an upgrade.

@SwathiPulagam  As I posted in the question I have tried the command but it failed.

@NithinPannala , when you downgrade, this could have cause the issue, if you left the original data folder in play.

-correct downgrade, would have backup the original 2022.11 data folder before the update.  then uninstall all . copy back the original 2022.11 data folder , and install 2022.11 using the original 2022.11 data folder before the upgrade.

@Steve_Nguyen I have already replaced the data directory after installing the old version which worked but want to check if there is any other way to avoid the error.

[NithinPannala]

@Steve_Nguyen  As per the documentation if we don't have feasibility to backup the data directory we can export the repository and import if the upgrade was unsuccessful.  what if the same issue happens in that case.

@Steve_Nguyen  While downgrading the Qlik replicate,Deleting the qlik installation directory and data directory that is doing the fresh installation would work even in case if we have import from the json file.
