Restarting the Upgrade

The Siebel Upgrade Wizard is restartable at most stages within the upgrade process. If the Siebel Upgrade Wizard encounters an error during the upgrade process, it stops at that point. If your upgrade stops due to an error, you must carefully review the log files to make sure that your upgrade has completed successfully up to that point. Once you have verified this and resolved the failure, you may restart the upgrade. The upgrade continues from the last step that completed successfully.

If you need to start the custom database schema upgrade from the beginning, first delete the state.log file from the following directory:

SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\log\PROCESS\state

for example, SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\log\upgphys_dev_601\state

CAUTION:  Before you restart the upgrade (after any break in the upgrade process) back up your complete set of log files, from the beginning of the process to the point at which it stopped, to another directory. This maintains a complete record of your log files, and prevent your previous log files from being overwritten, which might prevent accurate diagnosis of the reason for the break in the upgrade.

To manually launch the Siebel Upgrade Wizard from the command prompt,
or to restart the upgrade

  1. Type the following command at the Windows DOS command prompt from the SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\bin directory:

    siebupg.exe /m master_UPGRADEOPTION_ENVIRONMENT_VERSION.ucf

    For example, to restart a development upgrade from Release 6.0.1 to Release 7.x, type the following command:

    siebupg.exe /m master_upgphys_dev_601.ucf.

    The Siebel Upgrade Wizard screen appears, displaying the items to be completed during this phase.

  2. To begin the upgrade of your custom schema, click OK.

    A check mark appears beside each item as it is completed.

  3. When the status bar registers that the upgrade process is complete, click OK to exit the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

You have finished upgrading your repository and are ready to review the log files for errors. See Reviewing the Upgrade Log Files.
