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).
