Running the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard Under UNIX

Upgrades from: All Siebel releases.

Environments: Development, production test, production.

Platforms: UNIX 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. You then run the Upgrade Wizard to upgrade the Siebel database.

Prior to running the Database Configuration Wizard you must install the new release's languages packs for each language that you deploy.

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 UNIX

1. Verify that all servers are stopped:
   • Stop all Siebel Servers.
   • Stop the Siebel Gateway Name Server.
2. Make $SIEBEL_ROOT the current directory.
3. Source the environment variables from the siebsrvr root directory: <install location>/siebsrvr

   Korn shell (do not use a Bourne shell): . siebenv.sh

   C shell: source siebenv.csh

4. Review the values of the following environment variables and confirm the settings are correct:
   • SIEBEL_ROOT. This path must end in siebsrvr. For example, /usr/siebel/sea7xx/siebsrvr.
   • LANGUAGE. This is the language in which the Database Configuration Wizard runs. The value of this variable is a language identifier string. For example, enu is the identifier string for English.

     If either $SIEBEL_ROOT or $LANGUAGE is not set or is incorrect, you must correct them before proceeding.

5. Start the Database onfiguration Wizard in either a C shell or Korn shell:

   ./bin/dbsrvr_config.ksh

6. Enter the information requested in each screen and click ENTER.

   After you have entered all the requested information, the wizard displays a screen that lists the values you entered.

7. If you need to make changes, exit and rerun the script.
8. When prompted to start the Upgrade Wizard, do the following:
   • Upgrep mode: Answer No. Do not start the Upgrade Wizard. Instead, return to the upgrep process checklist and perform the next steps.
   • 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.
