Converting a Required Upgrade Kit to an Optional Upgrade Kit

If you distribute a required upgrade kit for Developer Web Client users and realize it was supposed to have been optional, then use the following procedure to convert the upgrade kit from required to optional.

Note:

This procedure applies only to Developer Web Client users. Upgrade kits for Mobile Web Client users cannot be changed from required to optional. If a Mobile Web Client user has difficulty with a required upgrade kit, then you must deactivate the problematic upgrade kit and create a new one. The new upgrade kit will have the same Minimum Old Version and Maximum Old Version settings as the deactivated upgrade kit, but a higher New Version number.

To convert a required upgrade kit to an optional upgrade kit (for Developer Web Clients only)

Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Anywhere screen, then the Upgrade Component List view.

The Upgrade Components list appears.
From the Upgrade Components list, select the name of the Upgrade Component for which you distributed the upgrade kit.
Modify the Min Version field with the minimum value that is acceptable, or change it to null.

Caution:
Perform this step carefully, because the wrong minimum value could cause some users to skip a related required upgrade kit.
Step off the record, or choose Save Record from the applet menu, to save the record.
Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Anywhere screen.
From the link bar, select Upgrade Configurations.

The Upgrade Configurations and Upgrade Components list applets appear.
On the Upgrade Configurations list applet, select the configurations you had previously distributed the component information to.
Click Distribute.

This procedure makes the upgrade kit optional. Siebel Developer Client users and Mobile Web Client users can log in to the Component Upgrades view if the client version they are using is between the minimum and maximum for the upgrade component in the Upgrade Component List view.
