Reviewing Obsolete Tables

The upgrade process generates a report that you can review for information about tables that are either obsolete. This report, xtndobstbl.txt, lists the following:

  • Custom columns in obsolete tables

  • Custom foreign key columns pointing to obsolete tables

  • Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager mappings for custom foreign key columns to access-control related obsolete tables

  • Workflow columns by custom foreign key to obsolete tables

  • Customer denormalized columns on obsolete tables

  • Obsolete tables in the current release

Each obsolete table is listed with one of three codes:

  • Not Used. These tables are not used in the current release, but you can continue to use them. These tables are supported as is (for instance, with docking or Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager).

  • EOL (end of life). These tables are not used in the current release, and they are not supported in future releases.

  • Inactive. These tables have been discontinued, and are not supported in the current release. You must move extension columns and foreign key columns that reside on inactive tables to alternate tables.

If no tables are listed in xtndobstbl.txt, then no action is required.

If this file lists any tables, then reapply the custom extensions and foreign key columns to those tables in the current release using Siebel Tools. See Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
