This topic provides specific instructions for defining a Siebel Configuration File upgrade kit using the Upgrade Kit Wizard. Upgrade kits of this type are used to upgrade Siebel CFG files, and are always language-specific.
To define a Siebel Configuration File upgrade kit
Gather the information and files you will need, as described in Chapter 3, "Planning and Preparing to Use Siebel Anywhere."
Start the Upgrade Kit Wizard, as described in "Running the Upgrade Kit Wizard".
Use the information you have gathered and the information in Table 4-2 to respond to the prompts in the Upgrade Kit Wizard.
When you have finished specifying data about the upgrade kit you are defining, click Finish to pass the request to the Upgrade Kit Builder server component and to exit from the Upgrade Kit Wizard.
A new row for the new upgrade kit appears in the Upgrade Kits list, with Status set to Request Submitted. For more information about the upgrade kit information available in this list and other lists, see "Viewing Upgrade Kit Properties".
After you define your upgrade kit, you must proceed to activate, apply, and distribute it. For more information about these tasks, see Chapter 6, "Activating, Applying, and Distributing Upgrade Kits."
The information in Table 4-2 is presented in approximately the sequence used by the Upgrade Kit Wizard.

Button |
This button displays a standard dialog box for browsing and choosing a file. |
Minimum Old Version |
Text field |
The earliest component version that can download and install the upgrade kit. When this field is blank, this indicates that there are no prerequisite versions required for using the upgrade kit. The default value is the same as the current component version recorded in the database. For more information about choosing version values, see "Determining Version-Setting Values". |
Maximum Old Version |
Text field |

New Version |
Text field |
The version number that the component being upgraded will have after the upgrade kit is installed. The default value is 1 greater than the current version for the component to be upgraded. For more information about choosing version values, see "Determining Version-Setting Values". |
Activate Upgrade Kit |
Check box |
When this check box is selected, the files to be included in the upgrade kit will be compressed into a single archive on the Siebel File System automatically. You can also perform activation manually, as described in Chapter 6, "Activating, Applying, and Distributing Upgrade Kits." For most upgrade kits, it is recommended that you select this check box. However, if you are creating an upgrade kit that is dependent on another upgrade kit, then clear this check box. For more information about working with dependent upgrade kits, see "Controlling the Order of Upgrade Kit Installation". |
Apply Versions |
Check box |
This check box is displayed only if you previously selected the Activate Upgrade Kit check box in the Upgrade Kit Wizard. When this check box is selected, the compiled information string in the database will be updated automatically with the component version information for this upgrade kit. You can also apply versions manually, as described in Chapter 6, "Activating, Applying, and Distributing Upgrade Kits." For most upgrade kits, it is recommended that you select this check box. However, if you are creating an upgrade kit that is dependent on another upgrade kit, then clear this check box. For more information about working with dependent upgrade kits, see "Controlling the Order of Upgrade Kit Installation". |
Required Upgrade Kit |
Check box |
This check box is displayed only if you previously selected the Apply Versions check box in the Upgrade Kit Wizard. When this check box is selected, the upgrade kit will be required regardless of the previous versions installed. (Min Version and Max Version are set equal to the value of New Version, but this change is not visible in the Upgrade Kit Wizard.) |
Upgrade Kit Title |
Text field |
An identifier for the upgrade kit. The default value is the value of Upgrade Component Name followed by a space and the value of New Version. However, you can modify the title while defining the upgrade kit. After the upgrade kit is defined, the title appears in the Name field of the Upgrade Kits list. |
