Summary: this section explains various miscellaneous information that is important to understand.

Note about running a CAST AIP upgrade or an Extension upgrade

This note is valid in the following situations:

  • Running a CAST AIP upgrade (major/minor or Service Pack)
  • Running an Extension upgrade (not limited to an upgrade of the Siebel extension)
  • Using the Component Update/Component Reinstall options in CAST Server Manager

When any of the above actions are performed, the Siebel custom tables located in the VANILLA_SCHEMA (in our example, SIEBEL5_V_LOCAL) will be recreated and all data will be overwritten and lost. In this situation, you MUST use the Run Analysis only option in the CAST Management Studio (on the Vanilla application) to re-populate the custom tables (used for the discrimination step during the Project snapshot generation) before you run the Project snapshot

Generating a snapshot for V2 source code

The following section explains what to do when you want to deliver V2 of your Siebel source code:

Vanilla

If the Siebel source code is the same, and no patch has been applied to the project since V1 extraction and analysis, there is no need to create a V2 for the Vanilla. Otherwise, if a migration / fix / patch has been applied, proceed as follows:

  • Open the CAST Delivery Manager Tool for the Vanilla Application and refresh
  • Create a V2 based on version V1
  • Update the configuration of the package if necessary. Check if this is still the same REPOSITORY ID
  • Package and deliver
  • Open the CAST Management Studio
  • Accept the delivery and use it as the current version
  • Use the Run Analysis only option to re-run an analysis

Project

The process is always as follows:

  • Open the CAST Delivery Manager Tool for the Project Application and refresh
  • Create a V2 based on version V1
  • Update the configuration of the package if necessary. Check if this is still the same REPOSITORY ID
  • Package and deliver
  • Open the CAST Management Studio
  • Accept the delivery and use it as the current version
  • Generate a snapshot.
