Importing the Siebel Repository on Siebel DB Server for Oracle

---

As a final step, you must import the Siebel Repository. This populates all the repository tables in the Siebel Database Server with the new Siebel eBusiness Applications, version 7 application objects.

NOTE:  Regardless of how many Siebel eBusiness Applications you are using (for example, Siebel Sales, Siebel Service), you will load the repository tables only once.

To import the repository

Navigate to $SIEBEL_HOME/bin and source environment variables, using one of the following commands, depending on the type of shell you use:

Korn or Bourne shell

. ./siebenv.sh

TIP:  Make sure there is a space between the initial period and ./siebenv.sh.

C shell

source siebenv.csh

where:

$SIEBEL_HOME is the location of the Siebel Server root directory.

Verify whether the values SIEBEL_ROOT and LANGUAGE are correctly set or are empty by entering:

env

If the variables are incorrect or missing, reset them using one of the following commands, as appropriate to the shell you use:

Bourne or Korn shell

SIEBEL_ROOT=New Value ; export SIEBEL_ROOT

LANGUAGE=New Value; export LANGUAGE

C shell

setenv SIEBEL_ROOT New Value

setenv LANGUAGE New Value

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

dbsrvr_config.ksh

This launches the Siebel Database Server Configuration Wizard.

NOTE:  You must have read, write, and execute permission to run this script successfully.

The script begins by displaying the current settings for the SIEBEL_ROOT and LANGUAGE variables and prompts you as to whether these settings are correct.

Confirm whether or not the settings are correct by entering either Y or N.

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

Specify the path of your Siebel Server root directory, or accept the default by pressing ENTER.
Specify the path of your Siebel Database Server root directory, or accept the default by pressing ENTER.

The script displays the RDBMS Platform screen.

Select the RDBMS Platform:

1- IBM DB2 UDB for UNIX and Windows

2- Oracle Database Enterprise Edition

Type 2 and press ENTER to select Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.

The script displays the Siebel Database Operation menu, as follows:

Select the Siebel Database Operation

1- Install Database
2- Upgrade Database
3- Import/Export Repository
4- Migrate Repository
5- Run Database Utilities

Type 3 and press ENTER to select Import/Export Repository.

The script displays the Repository Operations menu:

Select one of the following options:

1- Import Repository
2- Add language to an existing Repository
3- Export Repository

Type 1 and press ENTER to select Import Repository.

The script displays the Import Repository options menu:

Specify your import repository option:

1- Import Siebel Repository
2- Import Custom Repository

Specify the type of Repository you want to import.

The script displays the list of available Language Packs.

Enter the number that corresponds to the Language Pack you want to install.

NOTE:  In a Unicode-enabled database environment, you can install any of the available Siebel language packs. In a non-Unicode database environment, you must consider the correlation of the language packs you want to install and the characters supported by your database code page. For example, in a Western European code page database, you can only install Western European language packs such as English, French, Spanish, or German language packs. And in a Japanese code page database, you can only install Japanese or English language packs.

For a list of supported code pages and encoding strategies, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms.

Enter the ODBC data source name; for example, siebsrvr_ent_srvr1.

NOTE:  The Siebel Server installation process automatically creates the data source, using the format siebsrvr_enterprise_server_name.

Enter the user name for the Siebel administrator for your database; for example, SADMIN.
Enter the password for the specified database administrator account; for example, ORASADMIN.
Enter the Oracle database tableowner name; for example, siebel.
Enter the database tableowner password; for example, orasadmin.
Enter the name of your repository or accept the default; for example, Siebel Repository.
Enter the name of your repository file name or accept the default; for example, mstrep.dat.

After you have completed your import Repository specifications, the Configuration Wizard displays the list of configured values and prompts you as to whether you want to launch the Siebel Upgrade Wizard (srvrupgwiz).

Enter Y to confirm your specifications and launch the Upgrade Wizard or N to reject the values and exit the Configuration Wizard.
If you need to change the values you previously entered, rerun the Configuration Wizard by running the dbsrvr_config.ksh. This allows you to reconfigure with different values.
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 $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin and entering the following command:
srvrupgwiz /m master_install.ucf

If the upgrade was successful, the Siebel Upgrade Wizard displays a success message when installation is complete.
