Preserving Marketing Segment Descriptions

Upgrades: Releases 7.0.x, 7.5.x.

Environments: All environments.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

When upgrading from a prior release of Siebel Marketing to Release 7.7 or later, the database upgrade overwrites the Description field for all Segment records (S_CALL_LST.DESC_TEXT) with the string DO NOT USE: Segment from previous release. If you want to preserve segment descriptions, migrate the existing descriptions to another text extension column before running the upgrade.
