SQLUpdate_37 modifies the primary key of tblItems. If you are only replicating a few objects and one of those objects will be updated by the ACM Sql Scriptsthis table and upgrading from DB version 36 or lower to DB Version 37 or higher, you will need to remove it as an article of replication, perform the update and then add it back.

The installer references the asiDATA.ini file for the saved database information. If a connection to the database can be made, the installer will examine the ACM database version and prompt for permission to update the database if needed. You can use the installer to update your current database or you can choose to update your ACM database manually following Step 5. |
Follow steps 1-19 13 detailed on the Installation guide.
If you allowed the installer to update the database, and you are not replicating OR you did not have to turn off replication, you are done! Otherwise continue to Step 5 4 to upgrade the database.

4: Upgrade the ACM Database
If you elected not to upgrade the database via the installer or if you are using replication and had to disable it, perform the following on each subscriber/redundant database.
In the ACM Monitor database wizard, confirm the correct Server and Database name are entered and click the “Create/Update Database” button.
The database wizard will open using the connection settings you just entered. If this user has adequate database server permissions, click “Next”, otherwise change the user to one with permission to modify the database and then click “Next”.
Select Update existing database and click “Next”
The following form loads with the already saved values - the same as are seen in the $Server object. Change them if you wish to and then click “Next”.
Click “Finish” to upgrade the database.
When it reports success, click “Done”.
