About Database Updates for the Current Release

If you have installed the current release as a new installation, then you use the Database Configuration Wizard task to install a new Siebel database. This database contains schema changes, Siebel Repository changes, and seed data for Siebel CRM functionality through the current release.

If you install the current release as a migration installation, then you must use the Incremental Repository Merge feature to update your existing Siebel database to the current release level. For information about using Incremental Repository Merge, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.

In general, it is recommended to install the latest Siebel Patchset release before you install a new Siebel database or run Incremental Repository Merge. For more information, see Siebel Patchset Installation Guide for Siebel CRM, 1614310.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.
