Running the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard Under Windows

Upgrades from: All Siebel releases.

Environments: Development, production test, production.

Platforms: MS Windows only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

Run the Database Configuration Wizard to upgrade the Siebel database. The Wizard collects information, populates a master configuration file, and calls the SQL generator to create SQL commands. The Upgrade Wizard then uses the configuration file and SQL commands to upgrade the Siebel database.

Prerequisites:

• Collect the information that the Database Configuration Wizard requires. See Preparing to Run the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard.
• Install the new release's languages packs for all deployed languages. See Upgrade Planning for Multilingual Siebel Deployments.

To run the Database Configuration Wizard under Windows

1. Verify that no server tasks are running in the background.

   If necessary, stop Siebel Servers and Siebel Gateway Name Server service by navigating to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services.

2. Select Start > Programs > Siebel SES Configuration > Configure DB Server.

   The first window of the Database Configuration Wizard appears.

3. Enter the information requested in each screen and click Next.
4. After you have entered all the requested information, the wizard displays a screen that lists the values you entered. If you need to make changes, click Previous.
5. When the window displays inquiring whether you want to start the Upgrade Wizard, do the following:
   • Development Upgrep mode: Answer No. Do not start the Upgrade Wizard. Instead, return to the upgrep process checklist and perform the next steps.
   • Development Upgphys mode: Answer Yes to start the Upgrade Wizard.
   • Production Upgrep mode: Answer No. Do not start the Upgrade Wizard. Instead, return to the upgrep process checklist and perform the next steps.
   • Production Upgphys mode: Answer Yes to start the Upgrade Wizard.
   • Prepare for Production mode: Answer Yes to start the Upgrade Wizard.

     Just before displaying the prompt, the wizard calls the SQL generator to create or populate SQL scripts.
