Siebel Interactive Selling Applications Upgrade Guide > Upgrading to eAuction Version 7 >

Preupgrade Tasks

---

Before starting the upgrade process, certain conditions must be met.

To verify that your system is ready for upgrading

Check that the Siebel client (including Tools) is installed with appropriate administrative rights (access to workflow administration screens). The data migration process is designed to run on an NT workstation with the appropriate database drivers to access both the Siebel Server and the legacy database server.
Make sure that all current legacy activity is halted (ongoing auctions, invoicing, and so on).
Verify that there is valid ODBC, Oracle, or SQL Server access to the legacy database upon which the migration is to execute.
Perform a backup of the legacy database before beginning the migration process.
Make sure that the MSADC SDK is the current version. See Preparation for OpenSite Data Migration - MSADC SDK Update for the current version and instructions on the Microsoft Active Directory Connector Software Developers' Kit (MSADC SDK) update.
Make sure you do not destroy your legacy user interface because you will need to use it as a guide when rebuilding the UI with the Siebel Web Engine.
For those upgrading from OSA and Siebel eAuction version 6.0 MidMarket Edition:

Before you are ready to complete the data migration, you must be running a relational database and you cannot be running a flat file data store.

NOTE:  If you are currently running a flat file database, you must contact Siebel Technical Support and arrange for a Professional Services engagement to migrate to a relational database in order to perform the remaining migration steps.
