Renaming Repositories

It is recommended that you use Siebel Repository as the name of the repository that you use in your production environment. If you want to rename the repository, then it is recommended that you use the following procedure.

To rename a repository

  1. Display the Repository object type.

    For more information, see Displaying Object Types in the Object Explorer.

  2. In the Object Explorer, click Repository.

  3. In the Repositories list, locate the repository that you want to rename.

    For more information, see Locating Object Definitions in the Object List Editor.

  4. Enter the new name in the Name property, and then step off the record to save your modifications.

    For more information, see the following topic.

  5. Modify the value of the Siebel Repository enterprise parameter to the new name of the repository.

    For information about how to modify an enterprise parameter, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

  6. Modify the Application Main Repository Name parameter in the Object Manager.

Guidelines for Naming Repositories

If you name a repository, then it is recommended that you adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Use a naming convention for all repositories that your Siebel CRM implementation uses. Siebel Servers reference a repository by name. The procedure that you use to upgrade to a new version of Siebel CRM depends on the repository name. A consistent naming convention promotes successful configuration and testing and minimizes the work required to migrate a new repository or to do an upgrade.

  • Use the default Siebel Repository name, where possible. You can modify this name only if it is absolutely necessary. The default configuration that Siebel CRM uses assumes that the repository name is Siebel Repository.

  • Use the same repository name in your test environment that you use in your production environment.

  • If your development environment uses multiple repositories, then use a unique and descriptive name for each repository. For example, you might use Siebel v8.2 Original as the name of the repository when you install Siebel CRM. You can use another descriptive name for the repository that you use during an upgrade and for a repository from a prior custom configuration.
