About Running the Database Configuration Wizard Under Windows

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments.

Platforms: Windows only.

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

Run the Database Configuration Wizard to upgrade the Siebel database. The wizard 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 are applied on the mainframe, and to make upgrade changes to the Siebel database.

For more information about the Database Configuration Wizard, see About the Database Configuration Wizard.

Requirements:

• Collect the information that the Database Configuration Wizard requires. See Information Required By the Database Configuration Wizard.
• Install the new release's languages packs for all deployed languages. For further information on multilingual upgrades, see the topic on upgrade planning for multilingual Siebel deployments in the Siebel Database Upgrade Guide. For information on multilingual upgrades from Release 6.2.1, also see About Multilingual Deployments.

This topic describes two different procedures for starting the Database Configuration Wizard: one is the standard method of running the utility, the other method is used if you deploy languages that were not shipped by Oracle. The procedures are explained as follows:

• Running the Database Configuration Wizard Under Windows.

  This is the standard method of running the Database Configuration Wizard.

  If you have deployed languages that are not shipped with the Siebel 8.0 product, or have languages within your system that need to be removed, this procedure will not complete successfully. You receive an error message stating that your present installation is incomplete, and a list of the languages that caused the error is displayed. If this error occurs, you must run the Database Configuration Wizard using the dbsrvr_lang.scm model file, as described in Running the Database Configuration Wizard With Unshipped Languages (Windows).

  For a list of languages shipped by Oracle, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.

  NOTE:  If your system only contains shipped languages, and you still receive an installer warning, review the records in the S_LST_OF_VAL database table using Siebel Tools. For more information, see the topic on preparing for a multilingual upgrade in the Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.

• Running the Database Configuration Wizard With Unshipped Languages (Windows).

  Use this procedure only if your configuration operation fails because there are unshipped languages deployed within your system. This procedure allows you to run the Database Configuration Wizard, which will validate all data in shipped languages only. You can manually verify the data in unshipped languages following the successful completion of the Database Configuration Wizard.

Running the Database Configuration Wizard Under Windows

This topic describes the standard procedure to follow to run the Database Configuration Wizard under Windows.

To run the Database Configuration Wizard under Windows

1. Stop all Siebel Servers by navigating to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services.

   NOTE:  The Database Configuration Wizard runs in live mode only so you must be connected to the Gateway Name Server to run it. For further information on Siebel Configuration Wizard running modes, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

2. Select Start > Programs > Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration 8.0 > Database Server configuration.

   The first screen of the Database Configuration Wizard appears.

3. Enter the information you are prompted for in each screen, and click Next to continue.
4. When the Configuration is Complete screen appears, select one of the following options, and click Next:
   • Yes apply configuration changes now. The configuration information you entered is saved and you can choose to launch the Siebel Upgrade Wizard in Step 7.
   • No I will apply configuration changes later. The configuration information is saved but you can not choose to launch the Siebel Upgrade Wizard in Step 7.
5. On the Configuration Parameter Review screen, review the configuration values you entered on the previous screens. To change any of the values, click Back to return to the screen with the parameter you need to change. If the values are correct, click Next to continue.
6. You are prompted as to whether you want to execute the configuration:
   • Click No if you decide you do not want to continue with the upgrade process.The configuration information you have entered is not saved. You must enter the database configuration parameters again.
   • Click Yes to continue. The configuration information you have entered is saved.
7. Depending on the option you selected in Step 4, do one of the following:
   • If you selected the No I will apply configuration changes later option, click OK to finish. The configuration information is saved in a master file located in SIEBEL_ROOT\bin but the Upgrade Wizard is not launched. You can restart the configuration and run the Upgrade Wizard later. See Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.
   • If you selected the Yes apply configuration changes now option in Step 4, the configuration information you entered is saved. Click OK and the Siebel Upgrade Wizard is launched; it calls the SQL generator to create or populate SQL scripts.

Running the Database Configuration Wizard With Unshipped Languages (Windows)

This topic describes the procedure to follow to run the Database Configuration Wizard under Windows if your system deploys languages that were not shipped by Oracle.

To run the Database Configuration Wizard using the dbsrvr_lang.scm model file

1. Verify that no server tasks are running in the background.

   If necessary, stop all Siebel Servers by navigating to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services.

2. Navigate to the SIEBEL_ROOT \admin directory and do the following:
   1. Back up the dbsrvr.scm file, then rename the file to dbsrvr_orig.scm.
   2. Rename dbsrvr_lang.scm to dbsrvr.scm.
3. Select Start > Programs > Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration 8.0 > Database Server configuration to start the Database Configuration Wizard.

   You can now use the Database Configuration Wizard as described in Step 3 through Step 7.
