Running the Siebel Database Server Configuration Utilities Under Windows

Upgrades: All Siebel upgrades.

Environments: Development, production test, production.

Platforms: Windows only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

Run the Database Server Configuration Utilities to upgrade the Siebel Database. The Utility collects information, populates a master configuration file, and calls the SQL generator to create SQL commands. The Upgrade Wizard then uses the configuration file and SQL commands to upgrade the Siebel Database.

For more information on the Database Server Configuration Utilities, see About the Siebel Database Server Configuration Utilities.

Prerequisite: Collect the information that the Database Server Configuration Utilities requires. See Preparing to Run the Siebel Database Server Configuration Utilities.

   The first window of the Database Server Configuration Utilities appears.
