Obtaining Updated Siebel Repository Files

Updated Siebel Repository files (SRF files) are available for download from Oracle. These updated SRF files are available for all of the supported Siebel languages. The SRF files correspond to Siebel Repository updates in the Siebel database for Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 and version 8.2.2.4. Obtain and use the updated SRF files to run Siebel Business Applications in any of the following cases:

• After you install the current release as a new installation and install a new Siebel database for Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 or version 8.2.2.4.
• After you install the current release as a migration installation (patch installation case) and before you run Incremental Repository Merge to bring the existing Siebel database to Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 or version 8.2.2.4.
• After you install the current release and before you upgrade an existing Siebel database to Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 or version 8.2.2.4 (such as when upgrading from version 8.0).

Use these updated SRF files in place of the default SRF files that are installed with the Siebel Server for the current release. If you run Incremental Repository Merge or upgrade your database, then you must also compile and use new SRF files in order to include your custom object definitions.

The updated SRF files are available as part of the Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 or version 8.2.2.4 media pack on Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. You can download the srf.zip file, among all of the other media ZIP files for the Siebel CRM release. You unzip srf.zip to obtain all of the language-specific updated Siebel Repository Files (SRF files). The srf.zip file is included in the media for Microsoft Windows only. However, the SRF files themselves are applicable to all of the supported operating systems for the Siebel Server and the Siebel Mobile Web Client.

For information about the features in the current release, see the applicable Siebel Maintenance Release Guide on My Oracle Support. For more information about setting up and using Incremental Repository Merge and about upgrading the Siebel database, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.

NOTE:  For a Siebel Mobile Web Client that uses the Siebel Sample Database, then using updated SRF files also requires you to install a new instance of the Siebel Sample Database file (DBF file) for the current release, Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 or version 8.2.2.4.

Obtaining the updated SRF files

1. Review the media ZIP files for the Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 or version 8.2.2.4 media pack on Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.
2. Download the srf.zip file, among all of the other media ZIP files for the Siebel CRM release.
3. Unzip srf.zip to obtain all of the language-specific updated Siebel Repository Files (SRF files).
4. Copy the appropriate files to your Siebel Server and client installations, where appropriate.
