Perform Upgrade Tasks (Production Environment)
This phase upgrades a production environment Siebel database to the new release and includes the following tasks:
Prepare Application Data. These tasks involve preparing application data in the production database for migration.
Upgrade database (upgrep + upgphys). Run the Database Configuration Wizard in upgrep + upgphys mode, selecting the zSeries Staging of Files for Upgrade option. This generates the files required to build the staging database and generate the upgrade files required to perform the in-place upgrade of the database. The additive and nonadditive schema upgrade files are generated separately.
Note: If you have tuned the upgrade scripts during a production test upgrade and want to use them during your production upgrade, you do not have to perform this step. Instead, change the production test environment values in the upgrade files to production environment values and then apply these files on the Z/OS host to upgrade the target database. For further information on this task, see Process of Upgrading a Siebel Production Environment.(Optional) Apply the additive upgrade files to upgrade the database. This is a nondisruptive upgrade process.
Perform the in-place upgrade of the database. The same changes are made during the in-place upgrade of the production environment as were made during the in-place upgrade of the production test environment.
Upgrade the repository and import seed data (upgrep + upgphys). Run the Database Configuration Wizard in upgrep + upgphys mode again, selecting the zSeries Seed/Repository Upgrade option to complete upgrade processing.
