Roadmap for Installing Siebel Business Applications in a Migration Installation Case (Existing Installation)

Use this roadmap to guide you in performing the installation tasks for deploying the current release of Siebel CRM, where there is an existing installation of a prior version. This is the migration installation case (patch installation). The current release is Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.14 or version 8.2.2.14 (Siebel Innovation Pack 2014).

Use this roadmap when you have an existing Siebel Business Applications installation of a prior version, such as Siebel CRM version 8.1.1 or 8.1.1.11, or Siebel CRM version 8.2.2 or 8.2.2.4. You must perform the patch installation tasks for any existing installed software. Patch installation is also called migration installation.

NOTE:  It is recommended that, for each applicable Siebel module, you install the latest Siebel Patchset release after you install the current release. In some cases, installing a particular Siebel Patchset release might be required. For more information, see About Siebel CRM Releases.

This roadmap does not include the following tasks that apply in a migration installation case:

  • Customers must run Incremental Repository Merge. Before you do this, you must have installed at least one Siebel Server with Database Configuration Utilities and installed Siebel Tools. For more information about running Incremental Repository Merge, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
  • Customers must reset any passwords in the siebns.dat file on the Siebel Gateway Name Server that were previously encrypted using RC4 encryption. In the current release, such passwords are encrypted using AES instead of RC4. For more information about reencrypting these passwords, see Siebel Security Guide.

The installation process for Siebel Business Applications in a patch installation case requires multiple tasks that you perform in the following general sequence:

  1. Create the network images for all applicable releases of Siebel CRM:
  2. For the Siebel Enterprise Server software, install the current release as a migration installation for each existing installation (migration installation case).

    See Installing Siebel Enterprise Server Components and the Siebel Web Server Extension.

  3. For the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), install the current release as a migration installation for each existing installation (migration installation case).

    See Installing Siebel Enterprise Server Components and the Siebel Web Server Extension.

  4. For Siebel Mobile Web Clients or Developer Web Clients, install the current release as a migration installation for each existing installation (migration installation case).

    See Installing Siebel Web Clients and Siebel Tools.

  5. For Siebel Tools, install the current release as a migration installation for each existing installation (migration installation case).

    See Installing Siebel Web Clients and Siebel Tools.

  6. Verify the installation of Siebel Business Applications modules.

    See Verifying and Troubleshooting Your Installation.

  7. Perform any additional postinstallation tasks.
