Ancestor Repositories

This task is a step in Process of Meeting Requirements for an Incremental Repository Merge.

For any of the upgrade paths, described in Supported Upgrade Paths for Siebel CRM, that include a database upgrade or an incremental repository merge, a copy of the Siebel Repository that was released in conjunction with the old release is required to perform the upgrade or merge.

The ancestor repositories are distributed with the Siebel installer, but are only installed in the event that the user selects them during the installation process.

If this step was not performed during the Siebel installation process, then re-run the installer and add the Ancestor Repositories before attempting to continue with the upgrade.
