Running the Database Server Configuration Utility Under UNIX


Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments.

Platforms: UNIX only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

Run the Database Server Configuration utility to upgrade the Siebel Database. The utility collects information, populates a master configuration file, and calls the SQL generator to create SQL commands. The Siebel Upgrade Wizard then uses the configuration file and SQL commands to generate upgrade files that you apply on the mainframe, and to make upgrade changes to the Siebel Database.

For more information on the Database Server Configuration utility, see About the Database Server Configuration Utility.

Prerequisite: Collect the information that the Database Server Configuration utility requires. See Preparing to Run the Database Server Configuration Utility.

To run the Database Server Configuration utility under UNIX

  1. Verify that all servers are stopped:
    • Stop all Siebel Servers.
    • Stop the Siebel Gateway Name Server.
  2. Make $SIEBEL_ROOT the current directory.

    The path must end in siebsrvr. For example, /usr/siebel/sea7xx/siebsrvr

  3. Source environment variables:

    Korn (do not use a Bourne shell)

    . siebenv.sh

    C shell

    source siebenv.csh

  4. Review the values of the following environment variables and confirm the settings are correct.
    • SIEBEL_ROOT. This path must end in siebsrvr. For example, /usr/siebel/sea7xx/siebsrvr.
    • LANGUAGE. This is the language in which the Database Server Configuration utility runs. The value of this variable is a language identifier string. For example, enu is the identifier string for English.

      If either the SIEBEL_ROOT or LANGUAGE value is not set or is incorrect, you must correct them before proceeding.

  5. Start the Database Server Configuration utility script in either a Korn shell or C shell:

    ./bin/dbsrvr_config.ksh

  6. Enter the information requested in each screen. Click ENTER to proceed to the next screen.

    After you have entered all the requested information, the utility displays a screen that lists the values you entered. If you need to make changes, exit and rerun the utility.

  7. When prompted to start the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, answer Yes to begin the upgrade. The Database Server Configuration utility calls the SQL generator to create or populate SQL scripts.

    To start the upgrade at a later time, answer No. See Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard for information on manually restarting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.
