Bookshelf v7.5: How This Guide Is Organized

This guide provides required information for upgrading Siebel eBusiness Applications. To make the best use of this guide, carefully read Planning an Upgrade and Data Migration Considerations first to understand the changes that occur during the Release 7.5 upgrade.

To successfully upgrade your Siebel eBusiness Applications, conduct the upgrade of your development environment and then repeat the process for your production environment.

Because preupgrade steps are similar for both development and production environments, they are included in one chapter, Preupgrade Tasks. Likewise, upgrade steps are included in one chapter, Upgrading the Siebel eBusiness Application, and postupgrade steps are included in one chapter, Postupgrade Tasks. Because you use these chapters to upgrade both your development and production environments, you do not necessarily proceed sequentially through the chapters in this book. Instead, use the chapters in the sequence indicated in Table 1.

Table 1 displays the sequence of chapters you use to upgrade your development and production environments.
