Preparing Contents for Repository File or Third Party Software Upgrade Kits

To prepare for creating an upgrade kit for a Siebel repository file, third-party application, or other non-Siebel file, copy the files to a directory on the Siebel Server from which you will run the Upgrade Kit Builder server component, or to a directory that is accessible from that server.

This topic is part of Preparing Upgrade Kit Contents.

NOTE:  Siebel Anywhere supports two kinds of Repository File upgrade kits: standard repository file upgrade kits, which contain a complete Siebel repository file, and delta repository file upgrade kits, which contain an incremental repository file. For more information about how to prepare files for delta repository file upgrade kits, see Roadmap for Creating a Delta Repository File Upgrade Kit.

Siebel Anywhere can install third-party applications or other files using one of the following methods:

• Executing a batch script or installation program.
• Copying files to a specified location.

NOTE:  Before deploying an upgrade kit, make sure that any files, scripts, or other programs required to install third-party applications contain the necessary data and are fully tested.
