When the source database connected to a dSource is upgraded, it becomes necessary to update the dSource's metadata to match this new version.
The upgrade of a dSource is a crucial operation that ensures the Delphix Continuous Data Engine recognizes and correctly associates with the updated version of the source database.
This process does not upgrade the database itself; it merely updates the dSource metadata
Prerequisites
Before you begin the upgrade process:
-
Confirm that the source database instance has been upgraded to the newer version.
-
Ensure that the dSource is disabled. This is a mandatory step to proceed with the upgrade.

Follow the same process to downgrade the dSource to an older version.
