Platforms: MS Windows, UNIX, IBM z/OS.

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

The repository merge process does not preserve EIM processing columns for custom mappings. You must generate the missing custom EIM processing columns again.

To generate EIM temporary columns

1. In Siebel Tools, select File > Open Repository, and choose New Customer Repository.
2. Navigate to Tools > Upgrade > Generate EIM Processing Columns.

   A dialog box displays.

3. In the dialog box, click OK to generate EIM processing columns for custom mappings.
4. In the Object Explorer window, choose New Customer Repository and verify that the Comment field shows UpgEimCol.

   This indicates that the EIM temporary columns were created successfully.
