Configuring Objects to Inherit Upgrade Behavior

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: Development environment only.

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

In Release 7.8, you can link objects together so that one object inherits the upgrade behavior of another. You do this by specifying an upgrade ancestor for an object.

You can specify an upgrade ancestor for the following object types:

• Applet
• Business component
• Integration object
• Report

Before doing the repository merge, review new objects you have created and determine whether you want to specify an upgrade ancestor.

To specify an upgrade ancestor

1. Navigate to the object in Siebel Tools.
2. Click in the Upgrade Ancestor field.

   A dialog box appears. It lists available upgrade ancestors.

3. Select the desired upgrade ancestor and click Pick.

To view the descendents or copies of an object

1. Right-click on the object.
2. Select View Descendents from the picklist.

   A dialog box appears and lists the descendents.
