Creating a Siebel Migration Profile

This procedure describes how to configure a Siebel Migration profile. You can create multiple profiles. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Migration Application.

For more information about the activities that you can perform in the Siebel Management Console, including viewing configuration log data, see Supported Activities in Siebel Management Console.

Note: Several existing settings for Siebel Migration profiles no longer apply, and a new setting is provided. You must take these changes into account when installing and using Siebel CRM 20.10 or later to update an existing release, or when restoring a prior release. After updating, if you update existing Siebel Migration profiles, then values for several database-related settings are lost and you can add a value for the new setting Migration REST Endpoint for Authentication and Data Store. Similarly, after restoring a prior release, if you had created or updated a Siebel Migration profile to include the new setting Migration REST Endpoint for Authentication and Data Store, then you must update the Siebel Migration profile after restoring the prior release to restore the values for the database-related settings that became obsolete as of Siebel CRM 20.10: Host Name, Port Number, Table Owner, User Name, Password, RDBMS Platform, Service Name, Database Instance, Database Name, and Authentication Host. Any profile that you did not update after installing the update retains the pre-20.10 settings and can be used after restoring the prior release.
