Siebel Database Upgrade Guide for DB2 for z/OS > Preparing a Production Environment for a Siebel Upgrade >

Requirements for Upgrading the Production Environment

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: Production test, production.

You must be thoroughly familiar with the upgrade process before beginning the production upgrade. Before upgrading your production environment, perform a test upgrade in your production test environment to familiarize yourself with the process and to eliminate errors that can affect upgrade success or performance.

Before beginning the upgrade of your production environment, verify that the production database configuration meets the database requirements outlined in the topic Verifying Database Configuration.

If you have not already done so, copy the Upgrade Planning Worksheet, located in Siebel Upgrade Planning Worksheet and fill out the appropriate fields with the information you require to perform the upgrade. Contact your database administrator or systems programmer for help in completing the worksheet. Also, refer to Table 10 and Table 11 for a description of the information you are required to enter when you run the Database Configuration Wizard to perform upgrade operations.
