Importing a New Language to Your Repository


After you successfully import your Siebel Repository in its base language, you can add additional languages to it.

By adding a new language to your repository, you populate rows of localizable information, which allows Siebel eBusiness Applications to better operate in the new language.

Regardless of how many Siebel eBusiness Applications you are using (such as Siebel Sales, Siebel Service, Siebel Marketing), you perform this step only once for each language you want to install.

CAUTION:  If you subsequently add a new language (after you complete your initial installation with your initial set of languages), in the DB Server Configuration Utility, leave the Gateway Server Address and Enterprise Server Name fields blank.

To import a repository in a secondary language under Windows

  1. After installing multilingual seed data (Installing Multilingual Seed Data) launch the DB Server Configuration Utility.
  2. Follow the steps in Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository to Step 7 (Select Repository Operation) and select:
  3. Add Language to an Existing Repository

    To continue, click Next.

  4. In the Language Selection screen, specify the new repository language you are adding.
  5. To continue, click Next.

  6. Follow the remaining procedures in Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository up to Step 12.
  7. In the Repository Name screen, indicate the following:
  8. In the Configuration Parameter Review screen, review the configuration values you entered on the previous configuration screens:
  9. To apply the configuration now, press "OK".
    To apply the configuration later, press "Cancel".
    The command line to apply the configuration later is
    C:\sea704\siebsrvr\bin\siebupg.exe /m master_imprep_lang.ucf

    NOTE:  The last line in the prompt is generated dynamically based on the location of your Siebel Server installation.

    If a program or system error occurs and you need to rerun the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, you can do so, starting at the point at which the wizard failed, by navigating to \siebsrvr\bin and entering:

    siebupg.exe /m master_imprep_lang.ucf.

    The DB Server Configuration Utility displays the items to be executed or imported.

  10. To begin, click OK.
  11. A window appears, displaying information about installation activities. Afterwards, a message appears when the installation is complete.

    To verify that the installation was successful, review the log files. See Reviewing the Log Files for Repository Import.

TIP:  Locate the file master_imprep_lang.ucf in the binary subdirectory of your Siebel Server installation directory and print it out, so that you have a record of the values you entered.

To import a repository in a secondary language under UNIX

  1. Perform the steps described within the UNIX section of Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository up to the prompt for Repository Operations.
  2. At the Repository Operations prompt, enter 2 for Add language to an existing Repository.
  3. At the Choose Language prompt, enter the number corresponding to the secondary language you are adding.
  4. NOTE:  Siebel Systems does not support installation of any language other than U.S. English on top of a base Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Korean Language Pack.

  5. Answer the remaining prompts with the values that you previously entered when you completed Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository for your base language until prompted for the Import Repository Name.
  6. At the Import Repository Name prompt, accept the default name of the new repository or specify a new name.
  7. Enter the name of your repository file name or accept the default, mstrep.dat.
  8. The utility displays the values entered so far and prompts you as to whether you want to run the Upgrade Wizard.

TIP:  Locate the file master_imprep_lang.ucf in the binary subdirectory of your Siebel Server installation directory and print it out, so that you have a record of the values you entered.
