SIEBEL_ROOT
\siebsrvr\bin
directory.The upgrade configuration file uses a standard naming convention:

Parameter Validation
The Database Server Configuration Wizard validates certain parameters, and does not proceed if you enter an invalid parameter. The configuration wizard validates the following information:
- That you have renamed the Siebel Repository to Prior Customer Repository
- That tablespaces exist in your database
- That username and password are valid
- That tableowner and tableowner password are valid
- That the language pack is installed
- That the directories chosen exist
The Siebel Upgrade Wizard
The Database Server Configuration Wizard automatically launches the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. The Siebel Upgrade Wizard performs the following major tasks:
- Upgrades the Siebel database schema to the new version
- Migrates application data to the new data model structure
- Upgrades Siebel seed data
- Loads new repositories
Changing the Language in Which the Configuration Wizard Runs
When you launch the Database Server Configuration Wizard, it launches automatically in the language in which you originally chose to run the SES Installer. You can change the language in which the configuration wizard runs, if desired, from the language chosen during installation.
To change the Database Server Configuration Wizard language, refer to the Siebel Server Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
NOTE: If you want an additional language to appear in the language list in the database server configuration utility, you first need to install the appropriate language pack on the database server and on the Siebel Server. For information about installing additional language packs, see Siebel Server Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
