Running the Database Server Configuration Utility Under UNIX


Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments.

Platforms: UNIX only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

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

For more information on the Database Server Configuration utility, see About the Database Server Configuration Utility.

Prerequisite: Collect the information that the Database Server Configuration utility requires. See Preparing to Run the Database Server Configuration Utility.

To run the Database Server Configuration utility under UNIX

  1. Verify that all servers are stopped:
    • Stop all Siebel Servers by typing: stop_server all
    • Stop the Siebel Gateway Name Server by typing: stop_ns
  2. Depending on your shell, source environment variables:

    Korn or Bourne shell

    . siebenv.sh

    C shell

    source siebenv.csh

  3. Navigate to $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin and run the following script:

    dbsrvr_config.ksh

    This launches the Database Server Configuration utility.

  4. Review the values of the following environment variables and confirm whether the settings are correct by entering either Y or N.
    • SIEBEL_ROOT
    • LANGUAGE (This is the language in which the Database Server Configuration utility runs.)

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

  5. Enter the information requested in each screen. Click Enter to proceed to the next screen.

    After you have entered all the requested information, the utility displays a screen that lists the values you entered. If you need to make changes, exit and rerun the utility.

  6. When prompted to start the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, do the following:
    • Upgrep mode: Answer No. Do not start the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.
    • Upgphys mode: Enter Y to start the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

      Just before displaying the prompt, the Database Server Configuration utility calls the SQL generator to create or populate SQL scripts.

      To manually start the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, see Running the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.
