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

After you have created the staging database, generated the upgrade files, and upgraded the target database, you must upgrade the repository and import seed data.

Run the Database Configuration Wizard to upgrade the repository and import seed data as described in the following procedure.

To upgrade the repository and import seed data

  1. Run the Database Configuration Wizard. See About Running the Database Configuration Wizard on Windows and About Running the Database Configuration Wizard Under UNIX.

  2. Select the following options:

    • Upgrade Options:

      • Development environment: Upgrade Siebel Database Schema (upgrep)

    • Make sure you specify values for the target database when prompted for the names of the Host, DB2 subsystem, schema qualifier, ODBC data source, and database user name and password.

  3. Enter configuration information for your environment as described in Information Required by the Database Configuration Wizard. The master_* UCF file is updated with the environment configuration information.
