Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide > Activating, Applying, and Distributing Upgrade Kits > Applying an Upgrade KitAfter you activate the upgrade kits for an upgrade, you need to apply each kit. Applying a kit updates the compiled information string in the database with the component version information. This is an essential step in creating an upgrade kit. This is also the step in which you indicate whether a kit is a required upgrade kit. This task is a step in Process of Completing Upgrade Kit Creation and in Process of Limiting Distribution of an Upgrade Kit. Upgrade.ucf is the driver file for the Upgrade Wizard to apply the upgrade kit. It contains an ordered list of action items for the Upgrade Wizard to execute during the installation of the upgrade kit. The following procedure describes how to apply an upgrade kit. This updates the compiled information string in the database with the component version information. NOTE: If a replacement kit uses the same values for New Version, Minimum Old Version, and Maximum Old Version as the deactivated kit it replaces, and if the deactivated kit was previously distributed, you do not need to apply or distribute the replacement kit.
Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for each kit in this upgrade. Continue to Distributing Upgrade Kits for distributing updated version information for upgrade kits. NOTE: If there are multiple kits of the same type that are either SRF, Database Schema, or Client Executable, it is strongly recommended you deactivate the old kits. This will save time for your users by preventing the downloading of outdated kits. (The version information for a deactivated kit can be retrieved, but a deactivated kit, itself, cannot be retrieved. When a user tries and fails to retrieve a deactivated kit, an automatic attempt is made to retrieve a later kit that is currently activated.) |
