Repository Upgrade with Siebel Anywhere

This section describes upgrading a repository by using Siebel Anywhere.

To prepare to upgrade a repository

1. Have the mobile users synchronize with the Regional Database.

   NOTE:  After synchronizing, mobile users should not make any changes to their local database until after the upgrade. Changes made after this point will be made with the old repository, schema, and SRF file, and so may cause problems when they are applied to the upgraded regional server.

2. Wait until every transaction is applied to the Regional Node.
3. Run Replication Agent to synchronize the Regional Node with the Parent Node.

   This is usually the Headquarters Node.

   NOTE:  No more changes should be made to the Regional Node until after the upgrade. Changes made after this point will be made with the old repository, schema, and SRF file, and so may cause problems when they are applied to the Parent Node.

4. Wait until the transactions are applied to the Parent Database.
5. Disconnect the users and stop the server components as appropriate. Note that not all upgrades will require this step.
6. Upgrade the HQ Node.

   For more information on installing a new repository, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

7. Restart server components and make the system available to users.
