Hello @Ravi_SE ,

Thanks for opening the article.

Not sure what's the Linux OS version, please take note that Replicate 2023.5 can be installed on RHEL/CentOS 8.x ONLY. Version 7.x and older versions of Linux are not supported.

Now please take below steps:

1. please backup the DATA folder before any operations

      As a best practice please take a backup for any version upgrade/downgrade so far we may withdraw to previous version easily

2. please try to run "rpm -e replicate" first, then run Replicate 2022.11.0-620 installation again.

      It's better to stop all relevant services before the uninstall/install , check the processes by "ps -ef|grep replicate".

      BTW, if the DATA folder is "/data/Qlik/DATA" then the installation command should be like:

      user=attunity group=attunity verbose=true data=/data/Qlik/DATA rpm -ivh areplicate-2022.11.0-620.x86_64.rpm

Detailed commands can be found at Installing Qlik Replicate on Linux.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

John.
