Specifies the attribute value to use if a conflict occurs during an upgrade. You can use one of the following values:

  • FALSE. Siebel CRM uses the existing property value.

For example, assume the value for the Search Specification property of the Action business component in an existing release is:

[Type] <> 'Template' AND [Type] <> 'ABC'

In a new release, assume Oracle modifies this value to the following:

If you upgrade Siebel CRM, then a conflict occurs and Siebel CRM uses a value according to the following value that the Siebel Wins property contains:

  • TRUE. Siebel CRM uses the value that Oracle provides in the new release.
  • FALSE. Siebel CRM uses the existing value.
