Preparing Workflow Processes for Upgrade

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments.

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

Deactivate all workflow processes before doing the upgrade. This ensures that run-time event actions associated with old workflows are cleaned up properly.

Development Environment Upgrades

Before upgrading your development environment, make sure that all customized workflows and all seed workflows from the production database are present in the development environment Siebel Database. The upgrade will move them to the Siebel Repository and also update the seed workflows. The upgrade migrates custom workflows from S_WF_* tables to S_WFR_* tables in the Siebel Repository.

If the workflows from the production environment are not present, they will not be moved to the Siebel Tools Repository. You will have to manually move them using database tools.

Siebel Systems provides a script and an input file for migrating workflow data between your production database and your development database. For information, see 477668.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support. This document was previously published as Siebel Alert 1016.
