Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide > Defining Upgrade Kits >
Viewing Upgrade Kit Properties
After you use the Upgrade Kit Wizard to define an upgrade kit, information about the kit becomes visible in your Siebel application. There are two general types of information available:
- Information that applies to the kit as a whole, and the component it will upgrade. See Properties of the Entire Upgrade Kit and Its Component.
- Information that applies to items and item parameters within the kit. See Properties of Upgrade Kit Items and Upgrade Kit Item Parameters.
Properties of the Entire Upgrade Kit and Its Component
The following procedure describes how to view and interpret information that applies to the upgrade kit as a whole, and the components it will upgrade.
To view properties of an existing upgrade kit and its components
- From the application-level menu, select View > Site Map > Siebel Anywhere Administration.
- From the Show drop-down list, select Upgrade Kits.
The Upgrade Kits list and the Upgrade Kit Components list appear.
- In the Upgrade Kits list, select the record for the upgrade kit for which you want to view properties.
For information about the fields in the Upgrade Kits list, which displays each upgrade kit defined in the system, see Table 23.
For information about how to interpret various values that are displayed in the Status field of this list, see Table 24.
For information about the fields in the Upgrade Kit Components list, which displays the components associated with the selected upgrade kit, see Table 25.
Table 23. Fields in the Upgrade Kits List Name Comment Name Name of the upgrade kit (called Upgrade Kit Title in the Upgrade Kit Wizard). The default name includes the component name and version in the kit. You can specify a different name when defining the kit. However, it is recommended that you use descriptive names if you do not accept the default wording. Also see Table 7 for additional limitations for a name. The name cannot be modified once the kit has been defined. Status For definition of Status and the associated values and descriptions, see Table 24. Archive Kit Name Name of the compressed file containing the upgrade kit. File Size Size of the physical file containing the upgrade kit. Comments This field is available for comments. Modified The date and time this record was last modified. Compiled Information Compiled string that includes all information about the upgrade kit.The Status column indicates whether the Upgrade Kit is Request Submitted (awaiting for Server to pick up) or In Progress (in process of being created). The status column may have other values as well such as Pending, Active, Error, and so on. It is not limited to just Request Submitted and In Progress. Table 24 describes the values and description of the Status column.
NOTE: The status of this request can also be monitored in My Component Request view in the Server Component Requests screen.
Table 25 describes the fields in the Upgrade Kit Components list, which displays the components associated with the upgrade kit. The components are automatically created by the Upgrade Kit Wizard when you click Auto Create on the Upgrade Kits list.
When you select the new upgrade kit in the Upgrade Kit list, you will notice that two records appear in the Upgrade Kit Components list. The first record is the component to be upgraded. The second is the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. Including the Upgrade Wizard as a component reinforces using the correct version of the Upgrade Wizard for the upgrade.
CAUTION: Do not delete the default records in the Upgrade Kit Components list. These records store key information about how components work, and provide models you may eventually need for setting up custom components.
This list also controls the upgrade kit sequence (the order of upgrades), when several upgrade kits are used together. For example, if Kit 1 should be installed before Kit 2, you can add component Kit 1 upgrades as Upgrade Kit Components of Kit 2. For details, see Controlling the Order of Kit Installation.
Properties of Upgrade Kit Items and Upgrade Kit Item Parameters
Each upgrade kit item defines an action in an upgrade kit and requires certain parameters to operate. For example, a file copy action needs the file to copy and the destination for the copy. The following procedure describes how to view and interpret information that applies to items and item parameters within a selected upgrade kit.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not add, update, or delete any records in the Upgrade Kit Items list and Upgrade Kit Item Parameters list in the Upgrade Kit Items view. The records in these lists are created automatically, and changing them in any way can damage the selected upgrade kit.
To view properties of an existing upgrade kit's items and item parameters
- From the application-level menu, select View > Site Map > Siebel Anywhere Administration.
- From the Show drop-down list, select Upgrade Kits Items.
The Upgrade Kits list, the Upgrade Kit Items list, and the Upgrade Kit Item Parameters list appear.
For information about the fields in the Upgrade Kits list, see Table 23 and Table 24.
For information about the fields in the Upgrade Kit Items list, which displays the individual items that define actions to be executed by a selected upgrade kit, see Table 26.
For information about the fields in the Upgrade Kit Item Parameters list, which displays the parameters associated with a selected upgrade kit item, see Table 27.
Each upgrade kit item defines an action in an upgrade kit and requires certain parameters to operate. For example, a file copy action needs the file to copy and the destination for the copy. The Upgrade Kit Item Parameters list includes the parameters associated with each upgrade kit item. Table 27 describes the fields of this list.
