  2. Make sure $SIEBEL_ROOT is the current folder.

  3. Run a script, depending on the following UNIX shell that you are using:

    • Korn shell. Run siebenv.sh.

    • C shell. Run siebenv.csh.

  4. Make sure that the following environment variables use the following values:

    • SIEBEL_ROOT. This path must end in siebsrvr (for example: /usr/siebel/siebsrvr/).

    • LANGUAGE. Determines the language that the Database Configuration Wizard uses. The value of this variable is a text string that identifies the language (for example: enu for English).

  5. Run the following command to start the Database Configuration Wizard:

    $install_path/config/config -mode dbsrvr

  6. In the Database Configuration Wizard, do the following:

    • Enter information when the wizard prompts you.

    • Choose Import Repository when the wizard prompts you to choose a database operation.

    • Specify to import your 8.x repository.

file when the wizard completes. Please run the following command line after you 
exit from this configuration wizard. This command will deploy the process you 
configured to the database.
    $SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/bin/srvrupgwiz /m $SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/bin/$Masterfile

  8. The wizard displays the values that you entered in the Parameter Review window. To modify a value, click Back to return to the appropriate window.
