Copying Ancestor Repositories

Ancestor repository files are located in an Ancestor Repositories media directory that you access from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. It is recommended that you copy these ancestor repositories from the Ancestor Repository media prior to beginning your upgrade.

To copy the ancestor repositories

1. From Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, access and download the required Siebel Business Applications Ancestory Repository media version 14065971.
2. From Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, access the Siebel CRM Version 8.2.2 Ancestor Repository media, part number V28523-01.
3. Unzip this file to its own unique folder.

   NOTE:  It is important to keep these files in a separate directory from other downloaded JAR files.

4. From the newly created directory where the ancestor repository media files are located, run the following script to make a copy of the ancestor repositories to your Siebel Root directory:
   • Windows: copydat.bat (copydat.bat SiebelRoot optional log file)

     For example, if your database server installation location is: c:\siebel\8.1.1.x\ses\dbsrvr, you run:

   copydat.bat c:\siebel\8.1.1.x\ses d:\temp\out.log

   • UNIX: copydat.sh (sh copydat.sh SiebelRoot optional log file)

     For example, if your database server installation location is: /export/home/qa1/22313/ses/dbsrvr, then you run:

   sh copydat.sh /export/home/qa1/22313/ses /tmp/out.log

   NOTE:  If a log file location is not specified, then a log file will get generated in the directory you are running the script from or, if that directory is not writable, under your temp directory.

   The script copies the ancestor repositories r80.dat, r811.dat, r782.dat, r82.dat, r821.dat, r81110.dat, r822.dat and r8223.dat to Siebel Root/dbsrvr/common/SIA and copies hor782.dat, hor80.dat, and hor811.dat to Siebel Root/dbsrvr/common/HOR. After the script has been successfully run, the Checksum verification is run on the copied files against the checksum values shipped in the manifest file.
