Siebel Database Upgrade Guide for DB2 for z/OS > Performing the Siebel Incremental Repository Merge >

Before You Begin

Before starting the incremental upgrade process, you must have installed the Siebel Enterprise Server, which includes the Siebel Gateway Name Server, the Siebel Server, and the Siebel Database Server. For installation information, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

This task is a step in Process of Performing an Incremental Upgrade of the Siebel Database from Siebel CRM Version 8.1.1.x.

NOTE:  Before running incremental repository merge, you must have one and only one repository in your development instance and that repository must be named Siebel Repository. Also, if you must delete any additional repositories, the only acceptable way to do so is to select the repository record in Siebel Tools and delete it. It is not acceptable to delete repositories using direct SQL.

About the Siebel Server and Siebel Tools on Windows

It is recommended that the Siebel Server and Siebel Tools be installed on the same Windows computer. If your Siebel Server is installed on Windows, then the merge process automatically starts Siebel Tools to execute the incremental repository merge. For this reason, the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard must be started from the computer where Siebel Tools is installed.

If the Siebel Enterprise server is not installed on the same computer as Siebel Tools, then map a network drive from the computer where Siebel Tools is installed to the computer where Siebel Enterprise Server is installed. Use this mapped drive to specify the location of the Siebel Server when you run the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard.
