Preparing the Prior Customer Repository for the Merge

---

CAUTION:  The repository merge procedures only apply to development environment upgrades. If you are performing a production environment upgrade, skip to Upgrading the Custom Database Schema.

You must perform several procedures to prepare the Prior Customer Repository for the repository merge.

• Run the Repository Preparation Wizard. The Repository Preparation Wizard needs to be run on the Prior Customer Repository before you proceed with the repository merge. This utility is invoked from Siebel Tools and is used to perform the following procedures:
  • Migrate Strings
  • Merge Labels and Fields
  • Merge Templates

    See Migrate Strings, Merge Labels and Fields, and Merge Templates.

    CAUTION:  If you are upgrading from Release 7.x to Release 7.5, do not run the Repository Preparation Wizard. You already completed this procedure during your upgrade to Release 7.x.

• Upgrade Copied Objects. The ability to upgrade copied objects is a new feature for Release 7.x upgrades. Copied objects are the customized objects from prior versions of Siebel software. In prior upgrades, to Release 6.x, only Siebel objects were upgraded. In Release 7.x upgrades, your custom objects are upgraded if they have an upgrade ancestor specified. See Automatic Upgrade of Copied Objects.
