Executing Incremental Repository Merge on UNIX

This task is a step in Process of Upgrading the Siebel Development Environment from Siebel CRM Version 8.1.1.x (SIA Repository). Use this task to execute incremental repository merge on UNIX.

Incremental repository merge is started automatically on Windows, but on UNIX you must initiate the process manually. You begin executing the incremental merge when the Upgrade Wizard pauses and notifies you to execute the manual merge.

To execute incremental repository merge on UNIX

1. Obtain the latest Siebel Repository files (SRF files) from My Support Web. Then, for the base language for your deployment, replace the existing siebel_sia.srf file with the corresponding new file you obtained.

   For more information, see Supported Upgrade Paths for Siebel CRM Version 15.5 or Later.

2. Copy irm_sav_file.ssf from $SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\bin from the UNIX computer to SIEBEL_TOOLS_ROOT\bin on the Windows computer.
3. Execute the following command to start the incremental repository merge:

   siebdev /u UserName /p Password /d "ToolsDataSource" /c "SIEBEL_TOOLS_ROOT\BIN\lang_code\tools.cfg" /iPackmode /IRM UpgDeltaMerge

4. Click Yes to continue.

   To pause now and resume later, click No. To resume, see Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

If the merge fails, see Requirements for Restarting the Incremental Repository Merge.
