Performing the Incremental Repository Merge

This topic describes how to perform the incremental repository merge to upgrade the Siebel database in your development environment.

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

To perform the incremental repository merge

1. After you have run the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard to upgrade the Siebel repository and import seed data in the development environment (this is the last step in the upgrep process in Step 4), the Wizard pauses and prompts you to backup the database and run database statistics. Perform these tasks as follows:
   • About Backing Up the New Customer Repository or Database Schema
   • Generating RUNSTATS Jobs
2. Return to the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard and either click Yes to continue with the upgrade or click No to stop at this step and restart the Wizard later.
   • (Windows) If you click yes, then provided that Siebel Tools is also installed on Windows, the Wizard automatically starts the incremental repository merge.
   • (UNIX) If you selected Y to continue with the upgrade, the Wizard displays a message directing you to perform the incremental repository merge. Enter N to pause the Wizard, then perform the steps in Executing the Incremental Repository Merge Under UNIX.

     To resume the upgrade at a later point, see Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

3. After the incremental repository merge has completed, review the merge log files in Siebel Tools installation directory\LOG.

   For information on reviewing merge log files and Siebel repository merge errors, see the chapter in Siebel Database Upgrade Guide that describes how to perform the Siebel incremental repository merge and reviewing the merge report.

   NOTE:  If the merge fails, or contains unacceptable errors, you can restart the merge as described in Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.

4. Perform the following postmerge tasks. For information on performing these tasks, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide:
   • Review Siebel object property conflicts
   • Review conflicts at the attribute level
   • Mark conflict resolution as complete using Siebel Tools
5. Return to the upgrade wizard, then do one of the following:
   • (Windows) After you mark conflict resolution as complete, the Wizard automatically executes the last step in the upgrade, then finishes. Click OK.
   • (UNIX) Restart the upgrade wizard as described in Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. The Wizard completes the upgrade, then finishes.
