About Database Updates for Siebel CRM 18.12 Update

If you have installed Siebel CRM 18.12 Update as a new installation, then you use the Database Configuration Wizard task to install a new Siebel database, as described in this chapter. This database contains schema changes, Siebel Repository content, and seed data for Siebel CRM functionality through the current release. See also Roadmap for Installing Siebel CRM for a New Deployment.

For other installation cases, running Incremental Repository Upgrade or performing a full upgrade also apply the latest database updates. The tasks that follow do not apply in any of these cases.

About Database Updates for Siebel CRM 18.12 Update for Installations from Siebel CRM 17.x and Siebel CRM 18.x Releases

After installing Siebel CRM 18.12 Update for an existing deployment of Siebel CRM 17.x or 18.x releases, you must perform one mandatory task (run the Workspace Ranking utility) and you can also perform one optional task (run the Repository Upgrade utility) for upgrading the Siebel Repository. See also Roadmap for Installing Siebel CRM 18.x Update for an Existing Installation of Siebel CRM 17.x or 18.x.

Workspace Ranking Utility

After installing Siebel CRM 18.12 Update for an existing deployment of Siebel CRM 17.x or 18.x, you must run the Workspace Ranking (WSRanking) utility on the development database (only). This task does not apply in any other installation cases or if you already ran the utility for Siebel CRM 18.8 Update or a later release. Run WSRanking before you run the optional Repository Upgrade utility.

For detailed information about WSRanking, see Siebel Update Guide for Siebel CRM 18.12 Update.

Repository Upgrade Utility

Siebel CRM 18.12 Update also provides optional Siebel Repository content updates for Siebel CRM applications, to support new features. After installing Siebel CRM 18.12 Update for an existing deployment of Siebel CRM 17.x or 18.x releases and running WSRanking, you can choose to implement optional new features that require these updates by running the Repository Upgrade utility. This task does not apply in any other installation cases, if you do not require any of the features to be enabled, or if you had already enabled the features you require for a prior release (such as Siebel CRM 18.8 Update or later).

For detailed information about the Repository Upgrade utility and about the features that require this repository update, see Siebel Update Guide for Siebel CRM 18.12 Update.
