Siebel Interactive Selling Applications Upgrade Guide >
Introduction
This guide is a compilation of upgrade information specific to the eConfigurator, ePricer, eSales, eAdvisor, and eAuction modules of the Siebel Interactive Selling applications. For more information, see the Upgrade Guide for the operating system you are using. Most likely, you will not find it necessary to read all the chapters.
NOTE: You must have a current maintenance and support contract in order to be eligible for upgrade. Siebel Professional Services provides an upgrade service package that includes a methodology for analyzing, planning, and executing an upgrade to Siebel 7. Assistance from Siebel Professional Services is available on a time-and-materials basis only.
eConfigurator. Product administrators should review Upgrading to eConfigurator Version 7 to make sure the previous configuration models and quotes are properly transferred to the Siebel 7 environment. They should also familiarize themselves with the overall new features of the Siebel Interactive Selling applications, particularly the new classification system, to understand this new foundation of product administration. Since Siebel 7 eConfigurator has a new design paradigm, it is important for product administrators to understand these new features and design trade-offs to determine the appropriate upgrade approach.
ePricer. Pricing administrators should review Upgrading to ePricer Version 7 and make note of the changes in some of the set-up features. Specifically, Reviewing the Factor Target Value discusses the new pricing factor basis and results for price factors. Also, technical considerations are given to the use of the Pricing Factor Flow Designer.
eSales. Administrators that need to understand the new and enhanced features in Siebel 7 and their relationship to the upgrade process from Release 6.x eSales should review Upgrading to eSales Version 7. Some of the topics covered include user types and responsibilities, Web templates, catalog structure, parametric search, product comparison, credit card processing integration, tax calculation integration, workflow-driven user interface, and encryption.
eAdvisor. This guide outlines the process of migrating former OnLink version 4.0 projects as well as existing version 4.x Siebel eAdvisor and browser-based Siebel eConfigurator projects to Siebel 7. Administrative users for these applications should review Upgrading OnLink Browser-Based Applications to Siebel 7.
eAuction. Upgrading to eAuction Version 7 outlines the process of migrating existing OpenSite eAuction customers to Siebel 7 eAuction. This guide is intended for customers of both the OpenSite Auction (OSA) product as well as the Dynamic Pricing Toolkit (DPT) product.
