Running the Siebel Database Server Configuration Utilities Under UNIX

Upgrades: All Siebel upgrades.

Environments: Development, production test, production.

Platforms: UNIX only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

Run the Database Server Configuration Utilities to upgrade the Siebel Database. The Utility collects information, populates a master configuration file, and calls the SQL generator to create SQL commands. The Upgrade Wizard then uses the configuration file and SQL commands to upgrade the Siebel Database.

For more information on the Database Server Configuration Utilities, see About the Siebel Database Server Configuration Utilities.

Prerequisite: Collect the information that the Database Server Configuration Utilities requires. See Preparing to Run the Siebel Database Server Configuration Utilities.

To run the Database Server Configuration Utilities under UNIX

1. Verify that all servers are stopped:
   • Stop all Siebel Servers.
   • Stop the Siebel Gateway Name Server.
2. Make $SIEBEL_ROOT the current directory.

   The path must end in siebsrvr. For example, /usr/siebel/sea7xx/siebsrvr

3. Source the environment variables:

   Korn shell (do not use a Bourne shell): . siebenv.sh

   C shell: source siebenv.csh

4. Review the values of the following environment variables and confirm the settings are correct:
   • SIEBEL_ROOT. This path must end in siebsrvr. For example, /usr/siebel/sea7xx/siebsrvr.
   • LANGUAGE. This is the language in which the Database Server Configuration Utilities runs. The value of this variable is a language identifier string. For example, enu is the identifier string for English.

     If either the SIEBEL_ROOT or LANGUAGE value is not set or is incorrect, you must correct them before proceeding.

5. Start the Database Server Configuration Utilities script in either a C shell or Korn shell:

   ./bin/dbsrvr_config.ksh

6. Enter the information requested in each screen. Click ENTER to proceed to the next screen.

   After you have entered all the requested information, the utility displays a screen that lists the values you entered. If you need to make changes, exit and rerun the utility.

7. When prompted to start the Upgrade Wizard, do the following:
   • Upgrep mode: Answer No. Do not start the Upgrade Wizard.
   • Upgphys mode: Enter Y to start the Upgrade Wizard.
   • Prepare for Production mode: Answer Yes to start the Upgrade Wizard.

     Just before displaying the prompt, the Database Server Configuration Utilities calls the SQL generator to create or populate SQL scripts.

     To manually start the Upgrade Wizard, see Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.
