Restarting the Merge

This task is a step in Process of Performing an Incremental Upgrade of the Siebel Database from Siebel CRM Version 8.1.1.x and 8.2.2.x (SIA Repository) and Version 15.0.

To restart the merge

1. Restore the database to the state of the backup taken before the merge.

   You must have already executed database statistics.

2. Review the irm_sav_file.ssf file located in SIEBEL_TOOLS_ROOT\bin. The State value should equal 7 (State=7). If it is any other value, then you must change it to 7 before starting the incremental repository merge again.
3. Do one of the following:
   • On a Windows computer. Restart the Execute Incremental Repository Merge task by marking the step as Incomplete in the state.log file located in the Siebel Server installation directory, in siebsrvr\log\upgrade.
   • On a UNIX computer. Execute the incremental repository merge through the command line on your Windows computer.
