If you update version of SAP Data Services, there is a need to update version of Repository. Below points should be considered when migrating a central repository to upgrade version −

Point 1

Take the backup of central repository all tables and objects.

Point 2

To maintain version of objects in data services, maintain a central repository for each version. Create a new central history with new version of Data Services software and copy all objects to this repository.

Point 3

It is always recommended if you install new version of Data Services, you should upgrade your central repository to new version of objects.

Point 4

Also upgrade your local repository to same version as different version of central and local repository may not work at the same time.

Point 5

Before migrating the central repository, check in all the objects. As you don’t upgrade central and local repository simultaneously, so there is a need to check in all the objects. As once you have your central repository upgraded to new version, you will not be able to check in objects from local repository which is having older version of Data Services.
