Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard

Use this procedure to start the Upgrade Wizard. See Restarting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard After Pauses for the procedure to restart the Upgrade Wizard after it has paused and Stopping the Siebel Upgrade Wizard for the procedure to stop the Upgrade Wizard.

To start the Upgrade Wizard

  1. Navigate to the following directory:

    • Windows: SIEBEL_ROOT\bin

    • UNIX: $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin

  2. Enter the following command from the command line:

    • Windows:siebupg /m master_UPGRADEOPTION_ENVIRONMENT_VERSION_MasterFileType.ucf

    • UNIX: srvrupgwiz /m master_UPGRADEOPTION_ENVIRONMENT_VERSION_MasterFileType.ucf

      where UPGRADEOPTION_ENVIRONMENT_VERSION_MasterFileType is the portion of the upgrade configuration filename that lists the upgrade process, the upgrade environment, the Siebel release from which you are upgrading, and the type of mf_ file. The file is located in SIEBEL_ROOT\bin (UNIX: $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin). See About the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities and Database Configuration Wizard for further information.

      Note: Specify either mf_m or mf for the MasterFileType value depending on whether you want to start the manual or automatic portion of an Upgrade Wizard process.

      The following table lists examples of filenames for an upgrade from Siebel CRM version 8.1.1
