Regenerating the Repository Definition Files


Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: Development environment only.

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

If you have done any development after the development environment upgrade (upgphys) and before upgrading the production environment, use this topic to regenerate the schema.ddl and custrep.dat files.

The development environment upgphys upgrade step creates two repository definition files:

  • Schema.ddl. This file contains the logical definition of the Siebel Database.
  • Custrep.dat. This file contains the definition of repository objects.

These files are used as input to the production test and production environment upgrades. If you modify the object definitions or the schema definitions in the repository after these files have been created, you must regenerate the files.

Regenerating the schema.ddl File

Use this procedure to regenerate the schema. ddl file.

To regenerate the schema.ddl file

  1. On the Siebel Server where the Siebel Database Server files are installed, navigate to the following location:

    Windows: SIEBEL_ROOT\bin

    UNIX: $SIEBEL ROOT/bin

  2. Run the following command:

    ddldict /u DatabaseOwner /p Password /c "ODBCDataSource" /d TableOwner /f DBSRVR_ROOT\DatabasePlatform\schema.ddl /e y /a y /l SiebelLogDir\sch_dict.log /n "Siebel Repository" /t dcir

    where:

    • DatabaseOwner is the Siebel Database administrator account name.
    • Password is the Siebel Database administrator account password.
    • ODBCDataSource is the ODBC name for connecting to the database. Enclose the name in quotes.
    • TableOwner is the Siebel table owner name.
    • DBSRVR_ROOT is the absolute path to the Siebel Database Server installation directory.
    • DatabasePlatform is the Siebel Database Server directory name for the database, for example IBM DB2 UDB. The example shows Windows path syntax. On UNIX systems, use UNIX path syntax.
    • SiebelLogdir is the path to the directory where you want the output log placed (log output directory). The example shows Windows path syntax. On UNIX systems, use UNIX path syntax.
  3. After the command completes, review the output logs for errors. If the log indicates there are errors, contact Siebel Technical Support.

Regenerating the custrep.dat File

Use this procedure to regenerate the custrep.dat file.

To regenerate the custrep.dat file

  1. On the Siebel Server where the Siebel Database Server files are installed, navigate to the following location:

    Windows: SIEBEL_ROOT\bin

    UNIX: $SIEBEL ROOT/bin

  2. Run the following command:

    repimexp /a e /u DatabaseOwner /p Password /c "ODBCDataSource" /d TableOwner
    /r "New Customer Repository" /f
    DBSRVR_ROOT\DatabasePlatform\custrep.dat
    /l
    SiebelLogDir\exprep.log

    where:

    • DatabaseOwner is the Siebel Database administrator account name.
    • Password is the Siebel Database administrator account password.
    • ODBCDataSource is the ODBC name for connecting to the database. Enclose the name in quotes.
    • TableOwner is the Siebel table owner name.
    • DBSRVR_ROOT is the absolute path to the Siebel Database Server installation directory. The example shows Windows path syntax. On UNIX systems, use UNIX path syntax.
    • DatabasePlatform is the Siebel Database Server directory name for the database, for example IBM DB2 UDB.
    • SiebelLogdir is the path to the directory where you want the output log placed (log output directory). The example shows Windows path syntax. On UNIX systems, use UNIX path syntax.
  3. After the command completes, review the output logs for errors. If the log indicates there are errors, contact Siebel Technical Support.
