Running the Database Configuration Wizard on Microsoft Windows

The procedures in this topic describe how to do the following tasks on Microsoft Windows:

Start the Database Configuration Wizard on Windows
Save the configuration information you enter using the Database Configuration Wizard
Launch the Upgrade Wizard

To run the Database Configuration Wizard on Microsoft Windows

From the Start menu, navigate to All Programs, Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration, and then Database Server Configuration.
The first Database Configuration Wizard screen appears. Enter the information you are prompted for in this screen and click Next to continue.
Enter the information you are prompted for in all subsequent screens. Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate to the next or previous screens.
When the Configuration is complete screen appears, select one of the following options, and click Next:
- Yes apply configuration changes now. The configuration information you entered is saved and the generated SQL is executed in the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.
- No I will apply configuration changes later. The configuration information is saved but the generated SQL is not executed in the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. You can run the Upgrade Wizard manually later to execute the generated SQL.
On the Configuration Parameter Review screen, review all the configuration values you have entered in the Database Configuration Wizard screens. To change any of the values, click Back to return to the screen with the parameter you need to change. If the values are correct, click Next to continue.
Depending on the option you selected in Step 4, one of the following occurs:
- If you selected the option, Yes apply configuration changes now, click OK and the Siebel Upgrade Wizard is launched. Click OK to proceed or click Cancel to cancel the Upgrade Wizard.
  If you click OK, the Upgrade Wizard runs the SQL scripts to perform the task you selected when you ran the Database Configuration Wizard. After the Siebel Upgrade Wizard has finished running, click Exit to exit the Database Configuration Wizard.
- If you selected the option, No I will apply configuration changes later, a message appears saying that the Siebel Configuration Wizard completed successfully. Click OK to finish.
  The configuration information you entered in the Database Configuration Wizard is saved in a master file located in SIEBSRVR_ROOT\bin but the Upgrade Wizard is not launched. You can run the Upgrade Wizard later by entering the following command from the command line:
```
SIEBSRVR_ROOT\bin\siebupg /m master_option_mf.ucf
```
  where:
  - master_option_mf is the name of the master file containing the configuration information you entered.
  - option is the name of the Siebel database operation you selected.
    For example, enter the following command if you had selected the Install Database option:
```
SIEBSRVR_ROOT\bin\siebupg /m master_install_mf.ucf
```
  This command is generated dynamically; the path name varies based on the location of your Siebel Server installation.

Note: You can also launch the Database Configuration Wizard from the command line. For information on running the Database Configuration Wizard in GUI or command line mode, see Siebel Installation Guide.
