Stopping the Siebel Upgrade Wizard

Upgrades: All Siebel upgrades.

Environments: Development, production test, production.

Platforms: All platforms.

The Upgrade Wizard sends SQL commands to the RDBMS. These commands make schema changes and migrate data. If you stop the Upgrade Wizard and restart it, the Upgrade Wizard resumes the upgrade after the last upgrade step it successfully completed.

Do not stop the Upgrade Wizard unless you are confident that an error has occurred, and the Upgrade Wizard or a utility it has called is hung. Some SQL commands issued by the Upgrade Wizard or by its utilities can take considerable time to complete.

If you are not sure whether the Upgrade Wizard is hung, contact Oracle's Siebel Technical Support.

Stopping the Upgrade Wizard can have varying effects on the RDBMS. Before restarting the Upgrade Wizard, review the RDBMS logs. Run SQL commands as needed to resolve errors found in the RDBMS logs.

Stopping the Upgrade Wizard Under Windows

To stop the Upgrade Wizard, do one of the following:

• If the Upgrade Wizard has launched a separate command window in which a utility is running, close the command window. This terminates the utility and stops the upgrade.
• In the Upgrade Wizard dialog box, click Cancel.

  The Upgrade Wizard will exit when the current upgrade step is complete. There may be a delay while the step completes in the RDBMS.

Stopping the Upgrade Wizard Under UNIX

To stop the Upgrade Wizard under UNIX

1. If the Upgrade Wizard has started a utility in a child process, stop the child process.
2. Exit the shell in which the Upgrade Wizard is running.
3. Locate and stop any orphaned child processes started by the Upgrade Wizard.

After the processes terminate, there may be a delay while the RDBMS executes already-issued SQL commands.
