About the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities and Database Configuration Wizard
Upgrades: All upgrades.
Environments: All environments
The Database Configuration Utilities comprise a set of files that you install on a Siebel Server computer. These files are accessed when you run the Database Configuration Wizard and the Siebel Upgrade Wizard to install, configure, or upgrade the Siebel database on the DB2 host, or to perform other operations on the Siebel database after it is installed.
You can use any upgraded Siebel Server to perform an upgrade of the Siebel database. For best performance, however, install the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities files on the Siebel Server that you will use to perform the upgrade.
The Siebel Database Configuration Utilities files are installed at the same directory
level as the Siebel Server in a directory called dbsrvr. For example,
if the Siebel Server is installed in C:\sba81\siebsrvr (Windows), then
the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities are installed in
C:\sba81\dbsrvr. To edit and execute Siebel Database Configuration
Utilities procedures and maintenance scripts, you must have READ-WRITE access to the
Siebel Server bin directories in SIEBEL_ROOT (Windows),
$SIEBEL_ROOT (UNIX).
The Database Configuration Wizard is part of the Siebel Configuration Wizard. It interactively gathers the information required to perform the following operations:
-
Install the Siebel database. This wizard sets up the Siebel database in the RDBMS as part of a first-time installation of Siebel Business Applications. It is also used to add a language to the Siebel Database Server installation.
-
Upgrade the Siebel database. This wizard upgrades the Siebel database to a new release in a development or production environment.
-
Import or export a Siebel repository. This wizard moves entire repositories between database environments with the same schema definition.
-
Run database utilities. This group of wizards perform the following functions:
-
Synchronize a database schema with the Siebel Repository schema definition.
-
Convert existing Lists of Values (LOVs) to Multilingual Lists of Values (MLOVs).
-
Configure the database by extracting storage control files from the DB2 catalog and validating the extracted files.
-
