How the Upgrade Configuration File and SQL Files Are Created

When you run the Database Configuration Utilities, the following actions are performed:

• Collect configuration information.

• Create a primary upgrade configuration file (UCF). This file maps the information you entered in the Database Configuration Utilities to environment variables.

• Forward the information to an SQL generator that creates or populates SQL files with the required commands. The SQL generator extracts these commands from an intermediate XML file containing all the SQL commands required for an upgrade.

• Prompt you to start the Upgrade Wizard.

In some cases, you must modify the generated SQL files as required by Articles, or Siebel Release Notes on My Oracle Support before you run the Upgrade Wizard. To do this, answer No when prompted to run the Upgrade Wizard. Then, edit the SQL files and manually launch the Upgrade Wizard.
