Lifting a Siebel CRM Environment Running on Siebel CRM Compliant Operating System

This topic describes the procedure to run the Siebel Lift utility against a Siebel CRM environment hosted on another machine that has a Siebel CRM compatible operating system running on it; for example, appropriate flavors and versions of Oracle Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux and Windows.

Note: For representational purposes, this section will refer only to Oracle Solaris but the same steps apply to all Siebel CRM compatible operating systems mentioned above.

Prerequisites for lifting a Siebel environment running on Oracle Solaris:

Note: We recommend running the Siebel Lift utility in container mode on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) machines to lift a Siebel CRM environment running on another Oracle Solaris machine.
  • Create a shared file path for the staging location. This shared file path must be accessible from both the Oracle Solaris machine on which Siebel CRM is installed and the OEL machine from where the Siebel Lift utility will be run, for example, /net/liftsharedpath/.
  • Create the following sub folders under the shared file path to store the different artifacts:
    • A folder to store the Siebel CRM file system.
    • A templates folder to store template files such as lift_utility_responsefile_template.resp, and so on.
    • A folder to store custom scripts, custom files, custom images, and so on.
    • A folder to store the encryption key file.
    • An additional folder to store other file types.
  • Copy the Siebel CRM artifact from the Oracle Solaris machine (running Siebel CRM) to the respective sub folders in the shared file path.

Lifting a Siebel CRM Environment Running on Oracle Solaris

To lift a Siebel CRM environment running on Oracle Solaris:

  1. Download the Siebel Lift utility on an OEL machine that has access to the shared file path. For more information on downloading the Siebel Lift utility, see Downloading the Siebel Lift Utility (for Container Mode).
  2. Run the Siebel Lift utility on the OEL machine in container mode. For more information on running the Siebel Lift utility in container mode, see Running the Siebel Lift Utility in Silent Mode (for Container Mode).
