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

Requirements for a Development Upgrade

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: Development environment only.

Before you upgrade your development environment, make sure that the development database configuration meets the database requirements outlined in Verifying Database Configuration, and meets the requirements depicted in the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

If your development environment platform is DB2 UDB for Windows and UNIX, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.

NOTE:  Make sure that the development database uses binary sort order. Production databases are not constrained by this requirement.

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 will need to perform the upgrade. Contact your database administrator or systems programmer for help in completing the worksheet. Also, refer to Information Required by the Database Configuration Wizard for a description of the information you are required to enter when you run the Database Configuration Wizard to perform upgrade operations.
