About the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard Utilities

Environments: Development, Test and Production.

The Database Configuration Utilities are part of the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard. The Database Configuration Utilities interactively gather the information required to perform the following operations:

  • Install the Siebel Database. These wizards set up the Siebel database in the RDBMS as part of a first-time installation of Siebel Business Applications. They can also add a language to the Siebel Database Server installation.

  • Upgrade the Siebel Database. These wizards upgrade the Siebel database to a new release in a development environment, test environment, or production environment.

  • Import or export a Siebel repository. These wizards move entire repositories between database environments with the same schema definition. A wizard that adds installed languages to a Siebel Tools repository is also provided.

  • Apply Additive Schema Changes. As part of upgrading to a new release, this wizard generates a SQL script. The script contains schema changes that you can make to the production database without taking it offline. This reduces the production database downtime required for the upgrade.

  • Run database utilities. This group of wizards perform the following functions:

    • Synchronize a database schema with the Siebel Repository schema definition.

    • Convert existing time-keeping management to UTC.

    • Convert existing Lists of Values (LOVs) to Multilingual Lists of Values (MLOVs).

Note: You must migrate Siebel repositories using the Siebel Migration Application.
