Table 3 lists supported upgrade paths for Siebel Innovation Pack 2015, Patchset 5 or later (SIA repository) on the IBM DB2 for z/OS database platform.

NOTE:  After installing the Siebel CRM software for the current release, you 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 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of RC4. You must perform this task regardless of the type of upgrade you are performing. For more information about reencrypting passwords, see Siebel Security Guide.
