This task is a step in Process of Meeting the Requirements for an Incremental Upgrade to Siebel CRM Version 15.5 or Later, Using the Incremental Repository Merge.

If you create a custom ODBC data source name instead of using the default ODBC data source name, then you must perform the following modifications to enable Siebel Tools for the incremental repository merge.

To prepare Siebel Tools for a custom ODBC data source name for all databases

  1. Open tools.cfg located at SIEBEL_TOOLS_ROOT\bin\primary_lang_code, where primary_lang_code is the language code for the primary language.
  2. In the [Siebel] section of the .cfg file, do the following:
    1. Change the ServerDbODBCDataSource parameter from the default value to your custom ODBC name.
    2. (For Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2 only) In the [ServerDataSrc] section, change the Connect String parameter from the default value to your custom ODBC name.
