Performing a Test or Production Environment Migration from Siebel CRM 8.1.1.x (SIA Repository)

Environments: Test, Production.

To upgrade your production environment use the following task. For information on Siebel Database Configuration Wizard parameters, see Preparing to Run the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard. For information on running the Database Configuration Wizard, see Running the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard on Windows or Running the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard on UNIX, depending on your platform.

Requirements: You must copy the schema.ddl and the custrep.dat files to your test environment and production environment to conduct upgrades in each of these environments. For more information, see Process of Regenerating the Siebel Repository Definition Files.

To perform a production upgrade

1. In the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard, select the following options:

   • Environment Type: Production

   • Upgrade Options: Upgrade Custom Database Schema (upgrep and upgphys)

2. Start the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

   For information on running the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, see Preparing to Start the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

   The Siebel Upgrade Wizard reads the steps from the driver file that relate to your Siebel CRM version. The Siebel Upgrade Wizard performs the commands listed in those steps.

Note: When run in production mode, the Siebel Upgrade Wizard does not ask for the location of web templates and JS scripts like it does when run in development mode. This is because custom web templates are stored directly in the database for production/test environments. Also, any changes are made in the development environment first and then propagated to production/test environments. As a result, custom scripts references are present in the manifest tables.
