Upgrading Siebel Enterprise Config (siebns.dat)

Hi all!
We're doing a Siebel 7.8 to 8.2 upgrade and I'm looking at 'upgrading' the Enterprise config on the new Siebel 8 environment.
Is there an 'easy' way to migrate the siebns.dat config from a 7.8 environment to an 8.2 environment? That is, replicate the custom components, component config, server allocation etc that's in an existing 7.8 environment to a new 8.2 environment.
I was expecting a tool that, like the Repository Merge process, took a standard 7.8 SIEBNS.DAT, a standard 8.2 SIEBNS.DAT, my customized 7.8 SIEBNS.DAT and produced a customized 8.2 SIEBNS.DAT.
I've had a mess around with cfgmerge.exe, but that doesn't quite do what I want!
I really don't want to sit and write server manager scripts to manually apply the changes - it's a bore and there's a good chance I'll introduce errors or typos in the config. I'll also have to write seperate scripts for Dev, Test, Pre Prod and Prod as they all have different physical configuration.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts! :)

Hi Oli,
cfgmerge is the tool Robert mentioned. As you noted it is limited in it's output.
One way is to use nsbrowse, a gui Siebel utility, that will read the siebns.dat directly or via namesrvr. It is located in siebsrvr bin and gtwysrvr bin dirs. This will be slow and cumbersome to find all the details and differences, but is easiest for you to quickly look at compgrp compdef named susbsytems etc... It will not tell you all of which values are default vs changed, but you can get majority of the changes and params via comparing two env. You cannot update params with this util only read what has been set.
I have perl script that reads name server and dumps all info from siebns.dat for a single enterprise to csv files. Basically it reads a specific enterprise and spools out info from each object level, compgrp, compdef, servers, named subsystem, params and lists what level the param is set for each comp and server. Depending on number of servers and configuration, this takes hours to execute, and hours to parse through the params.
As Robert mentioned, make notes of all changes and you can script a rebuild of your entire siebns.dat.

So unfortunately there is no easy way to do this and get a thorough list of changes.

  • Using Siebel Enterprise Application 7.8 OLTP as source for OBIEE 10.1.3

    hi,
    We want to use the OLTP data source of Siebel Enterprise Application 7.8 for our OBIEE 10.1.3.3 BI application. The source tables (for example S_ORG_EXT) structure in 7.8 OLTP is older then the corresponding OLAP tables (W_ORG_D) in OBIEE.
    Problems like above are solved using Analytics Bridge. However, We didn't find the Bridge specific for above versions of OLTP & OLAP.
    If any of you have the slightest of idea as to how to resolve the above problem, do drop me a line at [email protected] or reply to this post.
    Thanks,
    Jignesh Doshi

    It is my understanding you need at least 10.1.3.3.2 (upgrade/patch).
    I'm currently on 10.1.3.3.0 and will be using ESSBASE shortly - so we actually have purchased 10.1.3.3.3 (OBIEE Plus).

  • Upgrading Siebel form 7.5 SEA to 8.1.1.11 SIA

    Please provide the list of things to be taken care while upgrading Siebel from 7.5 SEA ENU to 8.1.1.11 SIA (ENU,FRA,Germany,spanish,Italian,portuguese)

    Correct, at each step you use as input for the test/ production upgrade process the custrep.dat and schema.ddl taken from the development upgrade of that step.
    More detail about the Siebel upgrade process (which also includes SEA to SIA migrations) is available from the Upgrade Advisor: Siebel from 7.8.x or 8.0.x to 8.1.1.x (Doc ID 259.1)
    Even if you are looking at a different upgrade path, the general concepts discussed on the upgrade advisor do not change.
    For 2 steps upgrades, the following article may be of help too: Information about two- step Siebel upgrade paths (Doc ID 552997.1)

  • In-place upgrade of Enterprise Manager for RAC databases is not supported

    upgrading 2 node RAC from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 on Windows 2003 64 bit. I got the following:
    In-place upgrade of Enterprise Manager for RAC databases is not supported in this release
    Now I cannot log in to the database control as sys with sysdba role . I get "invalid username/password" error
    I can login as a dba user
    I also get a java error after I log in, some thing about class not found, but then I'm in and I can do everything that I try, although I haven't tried scheduling a backup yet
    Can I upgrade EM to 10.2.0.3?
    If so, how?

    On the patchset readme...
    11.3 Upgrade of Oracle Enterprise Manager Not Supported
    When you start Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant to upgrade 10.2.0.1 database to 10.2.0.3 patch set, the following error occurs:
    Inplace upgrade of Enterprise Manager is not supported for RAC databases is not supported in this release
    Workaround:
    Ignore warning.
    If you drop and recreate the EM repository?
    1). emca -deconfig dbcontrol db repos drop
    2). emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
    Be careful, doing this put the database on QUIESCE mode.

  • Issue with Enterprise Library's Data Access Application

    I do not know if I have the correct forum for this post. I hve put it in what I believe is the most likely best forum, but please move this if there is a more germane forum for it.
    I have inherited a solution (C#) which uses the reference Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data. The reference was included with the codebase I inherited, there are no missing references.
    When the library is called with:
    Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.ExecuteDataSet("configConfigurationKeysSelect", parameterValues);
    It complains with the runtime error:
    [InvalidOperationException: The stored procedure 'configConfigurationKeysSelect' doesn't exist.] (I have put the full trace below)
    This is true, there IS no stored procedure  'configConfigurationKeysSelect'  but there is a table named  'configConfigurationKeys.'  
    I assumed this stored procedure is built on the fly to select from that table? Must I do something regarding  Enterprise Library's Data Access Application so that this works on the system I am running it on? (I am simply accessing the references
    included with the sourced for this, nothing else). I am looking for some guidance here, and thanks in advance.
    Stack trace on error as:

    Why do you assume that a stored procedure is create on the fly?  Looking at the documentation for this component, I don't see a mention of such.

    We are also planning to upgrade Siebel Analytics 782+Infa 712+DAC to OBIEE 101341+ Bi Apps 7962+Infa861+DAC101341. We are using Sales Analytics module. Have a few questions regarding this situation:
    1. After upgrading SA 782 to OBIEE 101341, we got a seeded rpd for BIApps 7962, but we also have a SA 782 rpd which has been customized with some changes. I have seen the Repository upgrade steps mentioned in Upgrade guide for Informatica Power Center User and it has the process of Equalizing the rpds and merging. If I use this will I be getting my customization's merged in to the out of box BI Apps rpd under the same business model?
    What would be the best way to merge these two rpds, two way merge and keep the business models seperate or try to redo the customization in the new rpd?
    2. For DAC, does all customization's have to be moved manually into the 101341 or can be exported?
    3. For Informatica while upgrading the repository to 861, does the repository from version 712 has to be restored into the same database schema as the out of box 861 repository? Or restore the old 712 repository into a new database schema, upgrade the content and use the Informatica Repository manager tool to copy the custom folder s from old repository to out of box repository is enough?
    Sorry for the length of the matter.........Please help
    Thanks

  • Upgrading to Enterprise From Non_Enterprise

    I'm running a 8.1.5 non-Enterpise installation. I need
    partitioning. Two questions:
    1) Is it true that partitioning is available only with
    Enterprise?
    2) How do I upgrade to Enterprise from Standard? Do I
    have to create a new ORACLE_HOME, etc?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    If you are using the Standard Edition of the Oracle Database and want to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition, then complete the following steps:
    1. Ensure that the release number of your Standard Edition server software is the same release as the Enterprise Edition server software. For example, if your Standard Edition server software is release 9.2.0.1.0, then you should upgrade to release 9.2.0.1.0 of the Enterprise Edition.
    2. Shut down your database.
    3. If your operating system is Windows, then stop all Oracle services, including the OracleServiceSID Oracle service, where SID is the instance name.
    4. Deinstall the Standard Edition server software.
    5.Install the Enterprise Edition server software using the Oracle Universal Installer. Select the same Oracle home that was used for the de-installed Standard Edition. During the installation, be sure to select the Enterprise Edition. When prompted, choose Software Only from the Database Configuration screen.
    6.Start up your database. Your database is now upgraded to the Enterprise Edition.

  • Upgrading to lion loose my data

    Good afternoon everybody
    I am interested in upgrading my sister's Mac pro from Leopard  to Lion. My main concern (avoid beating of my life from my sister) will the upgrade loose all of her data? I am not really familiar with leopard operating system. I went to genius bar but e line was long so I left. I know I should backup the data just in case
    But still........
    Please free to advice me.
    Ps. I bought an external hardrive with FireWire for her laptop ( she refuses to to use),so what should I do?
    Thank you
    Sam

    I don't think Migration Assistant will take the user data from a Leopard clone?
    (Somebody tell me if I am wrong, can you download the installer to a Leopard clone and do an erase/install from there if it is bootable).
    Maybe you mean Snow Leopard, not just Leopard, that would be a lot easier, a bootable clone would work fine and migration Assistant would take the user data and apps over?
    But many of the apps will need updating anyway.  I suggest copying these data files to a separate folder on the external disk,
    Include archives for:
    For Address Book              File Export>Archive
    For each calendar in iCal    File>Export>Export
    For Safari Bookmarks        File>Export Bookmarks
    Google Earth                     My Places
    etc
    and to have the other app disks at hand to re-install, eg iLife and iWorks, MS Office (it must be 2008 or later, 2004 will not run)  etc
    You need to check the versions are all compatible with Lion.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    If you have Snow Leopard, you can simply install on top of the existing OS, but if it is Leopard:
    Boot into the clone (hold the option key at startup to select it)
    ... and buy and download the Lion installer to the clone, here:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/how-to-buy/
    Use the clone's Disk Utility to erase the existing MBP hard disk, check the disk and remove any partitions, then install Lion to it. Then migrate the user data.
    There will be a lot of further work to do, downloading and installing updated software for Adobe Flash, Java, Perian and your antivirus (ClamXav is good and free), for a start.
    I know your sister will understand

  • Solution Manager upgrade to enterprise Edition

    Dear All,
    We are running Solution Manager 4.0 in Win2k3 32 bit server
    with Oracle 10.2.0.2 Non Unicode version and ST patch level 11.
    The memory of the server is recently increased from 4GB to 12GB.
    We do not have any Java Stack.
    We have configured EWA / System monitoring in our Solman and
    also we have huge (really large) no. of documents uploaded into it.
    We want to upgrade our Solman to Solution Manager Enterprise edition.
    Can this upgrade from NUC to UC is possible with 32 bit OS platform
    or we need to change our OS to 64 bit? If we change our OS to 64 bit,
    will it have any impact on our existing application?
    Also, is it possible to migrate the system as it is to a HPUX 11.31 box
    without loosing any documents?
    Kindly provide your views.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sudip

    I strongly recomment to go for 64 bit in any case, 32 Bit is history...
    For the migration to 64 bti you need to perform a homogenious system copy (Windows 32 Bit / Windows 64 Bit), if  your target platform is HP-UX, then you need to perform a heterogenious system copy, which is more complex. Documents will not be lost during systemcopy operations.
    regards

  • Upgrade Siebel Analytics 7.8.2 RPD to BI Applications 7.9.6.1 RPD

    We are upgrading from Siebel Analytics 7.8.2 version to BI Applications 7.9.6.1 version. The Siebel Analytics RPD is customized and having custom catalogs which are based on Pharma tables and the Core model is not at all customized. So, I have followed the steps specified in section 'Upgrading the Oracle BI Repository for Industry-Specific Analytics Applications' of Upgrade guide. Its known that there are some datawarehouse changes occurred between these versions. One of these changes are,
    W_ORG_D of Siebel 7.8.2 is replaced with W_PARTY_ORG_D in BI Apps 7.9.6.1,
    W_PERSON_D of Siebel 7.8.2 is replaced with W_PARTY_PER_D in BI Apps 7.9.6.1.
    In order to upgrade the RPD we need to make use of MAP file that comes with the installation of BI Apps 7.9.6.1. For this process I'm using the map file rename782-796.map while equilizing the RPDs. But I dont find any information related to the above schema changes in the map file even though they are Oracle shipped ones. So, after doing some analysis I have listed the Alias tables created on top of W_ORG_D in 7.8.2 RPD and similarly in 7.9.6.1 RPD and specified the mapping information of these Alias tables in existing MAP file. Equlized the RPDs using the modified MAP file and done the merge process. But I'm observing some issues like the merged RPD is having both W_ORG_D and W_PARTY_ORG_D tables in all the three layers. Can I get any help on fixing this issue.
    Thank You,

    Any idea on the above issue?
