Caution:

The hash calculation used by the @RANGE function to partition data among Replicat processes has been changed. This change is transparent, and no re-partitioning of rows in the parameter files is required, so long as the upgrade is performed as directed in these instructions. To ensure data continuity, make certain to allow all Replicat processes on all systems to finish processing all of the data in their trails before stopping those processes, according to the upgrade instructions. Note that if the Replicat processes are not upgraded all at the same time, or the trails are not cleaned out prior to the upgrade, rows may shift partitions as a result of the new hash method, which may result in collision errors.
