Properties of the Entire Upgrade Kit and Its Components

The following procedure describes how to view and interpret information that applies to the upgrade kit as a whole and the components that it will upgrade.

To view the properties of an existing upgrade kit and its components

See the tables in this section for more information about:

The fields in the Upgrade Kits list, which displays each upgrade kit defined in the Siebel Business Applications.
How to interpret various values that are displayed in the Status field of this list.
The fields in the Upgrade Kit Components list, which displays the components associated with the selected upgrade kit.

Field	Comments
Name	The name of the upgrade kit (called Upgrade Kit Title in the Upgrade Kit Wizard). The default name includes the component name and version in the upgrade kit. You can specify a different name when defining the upgrade kit. However, it is recommended that you use descriptive names if you do not accept the default wording. Also see Identifying Configurations to Deliver Upgrade Components for additional limitations for a name. The name cannot be modified after the upgrade kit has been defined.
Status	For descriptions of Status field values, see Properties of the Entire Upgrade Kit and Its Components.
Archive Kit Name	The name of the compressed file containing the upgrade kit.
File Size	The size of the physical file containing the upgrade kit.
Comments	This field is available for comments.
Modified	The date and time this record was last modified.
Compiled Information	The compiled string that includes all information about the upgrade kit.

The Status field indicates whether the upgrade kit has the status of Request Submitted (that is, waiting for processing by the server), In Progress (in process of being created), Pending, Active, Error, and so on. Properties of the Entire Upgrade Kit and Its Components describes the values of the Status field.

Value	Description
Active	The upgrade kit is ready to be applied and distributed.
Error	An error occurred while the upgrade kit was being created.
Inactive	The upgrade kit is on hold and is not ready for further processing. The first step to activate the upgrade kit is to change its status to Pending. Then you can activate it.
In Progress	The creation of a new upgrade kit is underway on the server.
Pending	The upgrade kit was successfully created and is ready to be activated.
Request Submitted	The request has been submitted to the server to create the new upgrade kit.

The following table describes the fields in the Upgrade Kit Components list, which displays the components associated with the upgrade kit. The components are automatically created by the Upgrade Kit Wizard when you click Auto Create on the Upgrade Kits list.

When you select the new upgrade kit in the Upgrade Kit list, you will notice that two records appear in the Upgrade Kit Components list. The first record is the component to be upgraded. The second is the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. Including the Siebel Upgrade Wizard component reinforces using the correct version of the Upgrade Wizard for the upgrade.

Caution: Do not delete the default records in the Upgrade Kit Components list. These records store key information about how components work, and provide models that you might eventually need for setting up custom components.

Field Name	Comments
Name	The name of the component.
Min Old Version	The minimum component version that a subscriber must have to install this upgrade kit.
Max Old Version	The maximum component version that a subscriber might have to install this upgrade kit.
New Version	The version of this component the user will have after installing the upgrade kit.
Comments	This field is available for comments.

The settings in the Upgrade Kit Components list also control the upgrade kit sequence (the order of upgrades), when multiple upgrade kits are used together. For example, if Upgrade Kit 1 must be installed before Upgrade Kit 2, then you can add component Upgrade Kit 1 upgrades as components of Upgrade Kit 2. For details, see Controlling the Order of Upgrade Kit Installation.
