About Running the Database Configuration Wizard Under UNIX

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments

Platforms: UNIX only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See Performing a Siebel Database Upgrade.

Run the Database Configuration Wizard to upgrade the Siebel database. The wizard collects information, populates a primary upgrade configuration file, and calls the SQL generator to create SQL commands. The Siebel Upgrade Wizard then uses the configuration file and SQL commands to generate upgrade files that are applied on the mainframe, and to make upgrade changes to the Siebel database. For more information on the Database Configuration Wizard, see About the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities and Database Configuration Wizard.

Requirements:

• Collect the information that the Database Configuration Wizard requires. See Information Required by the Database Configuration Wizard.

• Install the new release’s languages packs for all deployed languages. For further information on multilingual upgrades, see the topic on upgrade planning for multilingual Siebel deployments in Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.

Caution: When you run the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard to upgrade the Siebel Database, the procedure will not complete successfully if you have deployed languages within your system that are not shipped with the current release of Siebel CRM. You receive an error message stating that your present installation is incomplete, and a list of the languages that caused the error is displayed. If this error occurs, you must delete records for unshipped languages from the S_LST_OF_VAL database table. For information on this task, see the topic on running the Database Configuration Wizard in Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
