About the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments.

The executables for doing an upgrade reside on the Siebel Server. You can use any upgraded Siebel Server to perform an upgrade of the Siebel database.

The Siebel Database Configuration Utilities are a set of files and scripts that provide inputs to the upgrade executables.

For best performance, install the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities files on the Siebel Server that you will use to perform the upgrade. The Siebel Database Configuration Utilities files will be installed at the same directory level as the Siebel Server in a directory called dbsrvr. For example, if the Siebel Server is installed in C:\sba80\siebsrvr (Windows), then the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities will be installed in C:\sba80\dbsrvr. For further information, see Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS.

To edit and execute Siebel Database Configuration Utilities procedures and maintenance scripts, you must have READ-WRITE access to the Siebel Server bin directories in SIEBEL_ROOT (Windows), $SIEBEL_ROOT (UNIX).
