Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide > Activating, Applying, and Distributing Upgrade Kits > Applying an Upgrade KitAfter you activate the upgrade kits for an upgrade, you must apply each upgrade kit. Applying an upgrade kit updates the compiled information string in the database with the component version information. This is an essential step in creating an upgrade kit. This is also the step in which you indicate whether an upgrade kit is a required upgrade kit. This task is a step in Process of Completing Upgrade Kit Creation. Upgrade.ucf is the driver file for the Upgrade Wizard to apply the upgrade kit. It contains an ordered list of action items for the Upgrade Wizard to execute during the installation of the upgrade kit. The following procedure describes how to apply an upgrade kit. This updates the compiled information string in the database with the component version information. NOTE: If a replacement upgrade kit uses the same values for New Version, Minimum Old Version, and Maximum Old Version as the deactivated upgrade kit that it replaces, and if the deactivated upgrade kit was previously distributed, then you do not need to apply or distribute the replacement upgrade kit.
Continue to Distributing Upgrade Kits for distributing updated version information for upgrade kits. NOTE: If there are multiple upgrade kits of the same type that are SRF, Siebel Database Schema, or Siebel Client Executables, then it is strongly recommended you deactivate the old upgrade kits. This will save time for your users by preventing the downloading of outdated upgrade kits. (The version information for a deactivated upgrade kit can be retrieved, but a deactivated upgrade kit, itself, cannot be retrieved. When a user tries and fails to retrieve a deactivated upgrade kit, an automatic attempt is made to retrieve a later upgrade kit that is currently activated.) |
