Overview of Upgrading to eAuction Version 7
This upgrade process is intended for existing customers of the OSA and DPT products, as well as Siebel eAuction version 4.3.x MidMarket or Enterprise Edition. Only OSA 4.3.x, DPT 1.3.x, and Siebel eAuction 4.3.x customers holding active maintenance and support contracts are eligible to upgrade to eAuction version 7.
The objective of this upgrade process is to make sure that you will have all the necessary license keys, utilities, and views enabled in order to replicate your existing auction.
Figure 15 provides a graphical overview of the process of upgrading OpenSite to Siebel 7.
The upgrade process is divided into three parts:
- Application migration
- Data migration
- Migration of the user interface.
NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, the migration steps for Siebel eAuction version 4.3.x MidMarket customers are the same as the migration steps for OSA customers. In addition, the migration steps for Siebel eAuction version 4.3.x Enterprise Edition customers are the same as the migration steps for DPT.
If you have any questions regarding the version or release number of the product you are currently running, contact Siebel Technical Support.
Application Migration
The application migration process from OSA, DPT, and Siebel eAuction version 4.3.x to eAuction version 7 involves a new installation of the eAuction version 7 application software.
NOTE: The installation of the Siebel 7 application takes place during the application migration process. There is an assumption that a base Siebel application (such as Siebel Sales) is installed. This document does not document the steps required for its installation. See Siebel Server Installation Guide for information on installing your base Siebel application.
Data Migration
The data migration process uses a set of data migration utilities that prepare the Siebel Server database columns for the eAuction-specific data. Once prepared, the legacy data is copied onto the Siebel Server and the migration is completed automatically.
OSA and Siebel eAuction Version 4.3.x MidMarket Edition
The data migration process for OSA and Siebel eAuction version 4.3.x MidMarket Edition applications involves an intermediate step where the data will be migrated to the DPT data model, which will then be migrated to eAuction version 7.
DPT and Siebel eAuction Version 4.3.x Enterprise Edition
The data migration for DPT and Siebel eAuction version 4.3.x Enterprise Edition applications does not involve any intermediate steps and transfers directly to eAuction version 7.
Migration of the User Interface
The UI upgrade process requires you to completely rebuild your templates using the Siebel Web Engine. See Siebel Tools Guide for specific information.
