Generating EIM Temporary Columns

CAUTION:  This procedure only applies to development environment upgrades. If you are performing a production environment upgrade, skip to Upgrading the Custom Database Schema.

The repository merge process does not preserve EIM processing columns for custom mappings. After the completion of a successful merge, you need to execute the steps below to generate the missing custom EIM processing columns.

To generate EIM temporary columns

  1. Open Tools on "New Customer Repository."
  2. Go to the Tools menu > Upgrade > Generate EIM Processing Columns.
  3. At the dialogue box, click OK to generate EIM processing columns for custom mappings.
  4. Verify that this process has completed successfully. To do this, in the Object Explorer window in Siebel Tools, select the Repository object that corresponds to the New Customer Repository and check that the Comment field shows UpgEimCol.

NOTE:  The repository that you run this process on must be the one that you use to upgrade the Custom Database Schema.
