Transferring the dedup Files

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: Production test, production.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

When you run the Database Server Configuration Utility in Prepare for Production Upgrade mode, it generates a number of upgrade output files in the DBSRVR_ROOT directory on the Siebel Server machine from which you ran the utility. These files include the dedup.jcl and dedup_prod.jcl files. The Siebel Upgrade Wizard uses these files to remove duplicate records from the intersection tables during production test and production upgrades.

You should run the Prepare for Production Upgrade process on the same Siebel Server that you use to perform the production upgrade. If you do not, you must transfer the dedup*.jcl files to the DBSRVR_ROOT\db2390 directory on the Siebel Server where the production upgrade is performed.
