How the Upgrade Topics Are Organized

Use the roadmaps and process topics in Performing a Siebel Database Upgrade to guide you through the upgrade process. These topics provide a checklist of all the steps required to complete a particular type of upgrade, in the order in which you must perform them. Each step includes a link to a topic that explains how to complete the step.

The remaining chapters of the guide are organized according to the major phases of the upgrade. Each chapter includes the specific upgrade tasks you must perform for that portion of the upgrade as well as conceptual and process information relating to those tasks.

Caution: Topics in the chapters might not follow the order you perform them during the upgrade and, depending on your upgrade path, all topics might not apply. You must use the roadmap for your upgrade to determine the required and optional steps and their sequence. If you do not, you are likely to experience difficulties in completing your upgrade.
