Upgrading and Migrating Siebel Janna Applications > Introduction >

How This Guide Is Organized

This guide is organized into chapters that outline the different tools and procedures required to perform the following migration strategies:

Strategy 1: Full Migration. This approach replaces the existing Siebel Janna application in favor of the Siebel 7 application. This strategy requires a comprehensive migration from the Siebel Janna database to a Siebel 7 supported database. The overview for doing so is documented in Database Upgrade Tools.

Strategy 2: Interoperability. This approach deploys the Siebel 7 application and integrates it with the existing Siebel Janna application allowing the use of existing business logic, data structures, and user interface components. In this scenario Siebel Janna behaves as a legacy application providing data and functionality to the Siebel 7 product. The framework and components involved are discussed in Interoperability. Once the theoretical foundations are covered, a hypothetical scenario is considered in Interoperability Case Study which serves as a practical basis for existing implementations using this migration strategy.

This guide concludes with two appendixes. Siebel Janna Data Objects lists specific Siebel Janna mapping information related to Chapter 2. The second appendix, Siebel Janna Terminology and Architecture provides background information on Siebel Janna terminology and architecture.

There are many Siebel Janna features that have already been built into Siebel Financial Services. A discussion of these features is not within the scope of this document. For a list of new features that are available out-of-the-box, refer to Siebel Financial Services Guide.

This guide is to be used in combination with a broader documentation set that pertains to all Siebel eBusiness Applications. Most chapters in this guide cover only information that is specific to upgrading and migrating a Siebel Janna application. Where applicable, you are referred to other guides in the Siebel Bookshelf CD-ROM or other third-party documentation.
