Preparing Siebel Tables and Views for Upgrade

Environments: Development, Test and Production.

Platforms: Windows, UNIX, IBM z/OS.

To prepare tables and views for upgrade

1. Remove temporary tables and non-Siebel tables.

   If the upgrade process detects a column with a datatype not acceptable for Siebel tables, then the upgrade will fail.

2. Disable customized triggers.

   You must re-create them after the upgrade.

3. Remove defined database views on Siebel tables.

   You must re-create them after the upgrade.

4. Export interface table data that you want to preserve.

   Interface tables are removed and then re-created during upgrade. You can import the data after the upgrade.
