• Run the CAST Management Studio
• Validate and choose the connection profile for the SIEBEL5_V_MNGT Management Service schema (i.e. for the Vanilla repository)
  
• Click Next to start the setup wizard

• Enter the CAST License Key and click Next:

• Configure the folders (note that the required folders have changed in CAST AIP ≥ 8.3.x):

• Click Finish to launch the CAST Management Studio.

Configure CAST Management Studio preferences

Once the CAST Management Studio has launched, open Windows/Preferences:

Import the Assessment Model

• Open the Dashboard Service editor for the Dashboard Service (SIEBEL5_V_CENTRAL) that is associated to the Management Service you are currently connected to.
• Click the Import Assessment Model option - the Assessment Model will then be displayed in the CAST Management Studio in the Assessment Models view.

Configure the Assessment Model

• Open the imported Assessment Model and check that the parameter settings for the Siebel rules are adapted to your project.
• To do so, go to the Contextual Parameters tab and search for names that start with "Siebel:"

Click to enlarge

• To check or modify a parameter, edit the parameter - this will open the parameter in an editor window. For example, for the naming conventions, edit the parameters "Siebel: Prefix XXX":

Click to enlarge

• Check the following tables and modify each parameter to the value defined in the Project value column.

Multiple values, char: as they are related to naming convention, they must be adapted to the project:

Single value, numerical: As a first approach, you can stick to the default values:

Manage the Application, accept the delivery and set as current version

• In the CAST Management Studio, Application view, click Manage an Application registered in AIC Portal….
• The wizard displays all available applications. Select the "Vanilla" application:

• Assuming the packages have already been delivered as explained in Siebel 5.1 - Application onboarding, the Application editor will show the delivered Version in the Delivery tab:

• Select the Version and then click the Manage the delivery… option to open the CAST DMT. Check the packaging is correct:
  • The Content state of the package should be showing Packaging successful
  • In the Package content tab, you should see one project named Vanilla for the Siebel Extractor Project type:

• Quit the CAST Delivery Manager Tool.
• Back in the CAST Management Studio, select the Version and click Accept delivery and use it as current version. You should use the default values in the wizard that is displayed.

Configure Modules

• In the Application editor, click the Modules tab.
• Ensure the option to generate a Full Content module is ticked (this should be the case already):

• You are now ready to generate a snapshot, see below.

Generate a snapshot

• Generate a snapshot for the Vanilla Application - ensure this includes an analysis:

Post snapshot checks

Check log files

You should ensure that no error nor warning messages are reported and that any unusual message recorded in the log file should be reported to CAST Support. When using the GUI, navigate to each analysis execution item and then click the log link: 

Analysis warning messages: end of comment '*/' not found

During the analysis, you may see warnings in the analysis log referencing certain scripts when the script is not syntactically valid. Typically, this has been seen in scripts related to the Vanilla standard object "CSSSWEFrameWebCallScriptPlayer". The impact on results is very low since the analyzer will just ignore the content of these invalid scripts. Potential warning messages:

• end of comment '*/' not found

Check the results in the CAST dashboards

In particular, you should use the Benchmarking feature in the legacy CAST Engineering Dashboard - CED to help perform an inventory check:

• Verify the number of objects of major object types (Applet, Business Service, Business Component,...) match the expected numbers.

• Please note that the Project application is the sum of ADDED modules and MODIFIED modules. This excludes the standard objects (unchanged from the Vanilla).

• Run the CAST Management Studio
• Validate and choose the connection profile for the SIEBEL5_MNGT Management Service schema (i.e. for the Project repository)
  
• Click Next to start the setup wizard

• Enter the CAST License Key and click Next:

• Configure the folders (note that the required folders have changed in CAST AIP ≥ 8.3.x). You should use the SAME FOLDERS as defined when you setup the analysis for Vanilla:

• Click Finish to launch the CAST Management Studio.

Configure CAST Management Studio preferences

Once the CAST Management Studio has launched, open Windows/Preferences:

Initial actions required when using CAST AIP 8.2.x

Import the Assessment Model

• Open the Dashboard Service editor for the Dashboard Service (SIEBEL5_CENTRAL) that is associated to the Management Service you are currently connected to.
• Click the Import Assessment Model option - the Assessment Model will then be displayed in the CAST Management Studio in the Assessment Models view.

Single value, numerical: As a first approach, you can stick to the default values:

Configure the Content Enrichment - Siebel Vanilla Import

• In the CAST Management Studio, Application editor, click the Content Enrichment tab.
• Create an SQL Tool in Tools after analysis to import data from the Vanilla's analysis service.
• In the Parameters tab:
  • copy and paste into the SQL section, the SQL from the file "Project_ContentEnrichment_2_SQL_Siebel Vanilla Import.txt" provided in the extension as explained at the top of this page (use the text file that corresponds to your chosen CAST AIP environment - i.e. CSS).

• Now move to the Variables tab and add a variable:
  • Name = VANILLA_SCHEMA
  • Value = the name of the analysis service (in our example, SIEBEL5_v_local)

Manage the Application, accept the delivery and set as current version

• In the CAST Management Studio, Application view, click Manage an Application registered in AIC Portal….
• The wizard displays all available applications. Select the "Project" application:

• Assuming the packages have already been delivered as explained in Siebel 5.1 - Application onboarding, the Application editor will show the delivered Version in the Delivery tab:

Configure Modules

• In the Application editor, click the Modules tab.
• Untick all options under Generate one module per:

• Now create User Defined Modules as follows (the text files are provided in the extension as explained at the top of this page - use the text file that corresponds to your chosen CAST AIP environment - CSS or Oracle):

select * from §SIEBEL_MODULE_ADDED('$(ModuleName)','Siebel Power Communication')
/

• If you configure both types of modules, this will give you something similar to the list of User Defined Modules shown below:

Edit the modules

For all these manually created User Defined Modules, you must open and edit each one as follows:

• Delete the default Object Filter (called My Object Filter) from the Filters tab:

• Activate the option Build module content using an explicit list of objects in the Explicit content tab for EACH User Defined Module:

• Delete the default SQL query template in the Explicit content tab and copy in the appropriate SQL query provided in the template txt file for EACH User Defined Module (example below shows an <appname>_ADDED module):
  

select * from §SIEBEL_MODULE_ADDED('$(ModuleName)','Siebel Power Communication')
/

Edit the Project_ContentEnrichment_2_SQL_Siebel Vanilla Import_Variables.txt file

• Open the following file (this text file is provided in the extension as explained at the top of this page - use the text file that corresponds to your chosen CAST AIP environment - CSS or Oracle):

Project_ContentEnrichment_2_SQL_Siebel Vanilla Import_Variables.txt

• Edit the file and ensure you change the Value option to match the name of your Analysis Service schema for the Vanilla:

Variables:
Name=VANILLA_SCHEMA
Value=siebel5_v_local

Configure a platform variable

You now need to configure a new platform variable that defines the name of the CAST Analysis Service schema installed for the Vanilla. In our example this is "SIEBEL5_V_LOCAL":

• In the Technologies view, double click the Common entry to open the Common editor.
• In the Platform tab, add a new variable called SIEBEL_VANILLA_SCHEMA with a value equal to the name of the CAST Analysis Service schema installed for the Vanilla:
