To import repositories in UNIX environments

1. Do Step 1 and Step 3.
2. Make sure $SIEBEL_ROOT is the current folder.
3. Run a script, depending on the following UNIX shell that you are using:
   • Korn shell. Run siebenv.sh.
   • C shell. Run siebenv.csh.
4. Make sure that the following environment variables use the following values:
   • SIEBEL_ROOT. This path must end in siebsrvr (for example, /usr/siebel/siebsrvr).
   • LANGUAGE. Determines the language that the Database Configuration Wizard uses. The value of this variable is a text string that identifies the language (for example, enu for English).
5. Run the following command to start the Database Configuration Wizard:

   $install_path/config/config -mode dbsrvr

6. In the Database Configuration Wizard, do the following:
   • Enter information when the wizard prompts you.
   • Use the Next and Back button to navigate between dialog boxes.
   • Choose Import Repository when the wizard prompts you to choose a database operation.
   • Specify to import your 8.x repository.
   • Identify the location of where the custom CustRep.dat file resides.
7. After you enter all the requested information, the wizard displays a message that is similar to the following. Click Next to continue:

   Configuration is complete: configuration parameters will be saved to $Masterfile file when the wizard completes. Please run the following command line after you exit from this configuration wizard. This command will deploy the process you configured to the database.

   $SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/bin/srvrupgwiz /m $SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/bin/$Masterfile

8. The wizard displays the values that you entered in the Parameter Review window. To modify a value, click Back to return to the appropriate window.
9. The wizard prompts you to click one of the following values:
   • Yes. The wizard saves the configuration in a master file in the $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin folder. It does not start the Upgrade Wizard. For information about how to start the Upgrade Wizard, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
   • No. The wizard does not save the configuration that you entered.
