Minimum Old Version

Read-only text field

The earliest component version that can download and install the upgrade kit. This setting is automatically set to NULL for history-independent component types, including Siebel Database Schema, indicating that there are no prerequisite versions required for using the upgrade kit. For more information about choosing version values, see Determining Version-Setting Values.

Maximum Old Version

Read-only text field

The latest component version that can download and install the upgrade kit. This setting is automatically set to NULL for history-independent component types, including Siebel Database Schema, indicating that there are no prerequisite versions required for using the upgrade kit. For more information about choosing version values, see Determining Version-Setting Values.

New Version

Text field

The version number that the component being upgraded will have after the upgrade kit is installed. The default value is 1 greater than the current version for the component to be upgraded. For more information about choosing version values, see Determining Version-Setting Values.

Activate Upgrade Kit

Check box

When this check box is selected, the data to be included in the upgrade kit will be compressed into a single archive on the Siebel File System automatically. You can also perform activation manually, as described in Activating, Applying, and Distributing Upgrade Kits.

For most upgrade kits, it is recommended that you select this check box. However, if you are creating an upgrade kit that is dependent on another upgrade kit, then clear this check box. For more information about working with dependent upgrade kits, see Controlling the Order of Upgrade Kit Installation.

Apply Versions

Check box

This check box is displayed only if you previously selected the Activate Upgrade Kit check box in the Upgrade Kit Wizard.

When this check box is selected, the compiled information string in the database will be updated automatically with the component version information for this upgrade kit. You can also apply versions manually, as described in Activating, Applying, and Distributing Upgrade Kits.

For most upgrade kits, it is recommended that you select this check box. However, if you are creating an upgrade kit that is dependent on another upgrade kit, then clear this check box. For more information about working with dependent upgrade kits, see Controlling the Order of Upgrade Kit Installation.

Required Upgrade Kit

Check box

This check box is displayed only if you previously selected the Apply Versions check box in the Upgrade Kit Wizard.

When this check box is selected, the upgrade kit will be required regardless of the previous versions installed. (Min Version and Max Version are set to the value of New Version, but this change is not visible in the Upgrade Kit Wizard.)

Make Siebel Database Schema upgrade kits required when they are distributed to users in a production environment. However, it is recommended that you create and test the upgrade kit as an optional upgrade kit before making it required. For more information about changing an optional upgrade kit to be required, see Converting an Optional Upgrade Kit to a Required Upgrade Kit.

Upgrade Kit Title

Text field

An identifier for the upgrade kit. The default value is the value of Upgrade Component Name followed by a space and the value of New Version. However, you can modify the title while defining the upgrade kit. After the upgrade kit is defined, this identifier appears in the Name field of the Upgrade Kits list.
