Table 3 lists supported upgrade paths for Siebel Innovation Pack 2017 (Siebel CRM version 17.0) on the IBM DB2 for z/OS database platform. The repository for the current release is SIA in all cases.

Siebel Repository now consists of a Runtime Repository as part of Siebel Innovation Pack 2017. This repository contains the compiled repository definition. This updated repository is available for all of the supported Siebel languages. Siebel clients and servers now read the compiled definition from the runtime repository stored in the database. The Runtime Repository is required for either of the following upgrade tasks summarized in this topic.

  • If you run incremental repository merge for an existing Siebel database.
  • If you perform a full database upgrade for an existing Siebel database.

You also require the Siebel Runtime Repository to run Siebel Business Applications after you install a new Siebel database for Siebel CRM version 17.0. For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
