Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide > Supplementary Information for Specific Upgrade Types > Testing for Upgrade Kit Component ConsistencyAfter you upgrade a Siebel application to a new release, you should check to make sure that version numbering continues across releases for Upgrade Components in each Siebel Anywhere Configuration. Upgrading to a new release of Siebel eBusiness Applications upgrades the Siebel Anywhere table definitions. However, it does not reset the Upgrade Component information for Siebel Anywhere Configurations. As a result, Siebel Anywhere will resume version checking against the existing component versions in the new release of Siebel eBusiness Applications. If required upgrade kits for Siebel Client Repository File, Siebel Client Customer Revisions, or Siebel CFG File were distributed in the previous release, newly upgraded Production clients may be incorrectly prompted for upgrade kits when they synchronize with the server. Before upgrading Production users, test the upgrade kit using the Packager Client machine with version checking enabled. Verify that the Packager Client passes version check, so that after the upgrade kit is packaged and distributed, it will function correctly for the remainder of your Production users. To accomplish this testing, verify that Administrator Client has the latest versions for Siebel Client Repository File_[language-code], Siebel Client Customer Revisions, and Siebel CFG_[language-code] in advance of running the Siebel Packager utility.

Test with the Administrator Client until this client passes version check. Run the Siebel Packager Utility to create the custom installer. Distribute the custom installer through Siebel Anywhere (as described in the Upgrade Guide), or through a shared network location. |
