Goal
Question/Request:I downloaded this patch and created images, then attempted to install. I got the following error:
You have selected the wrong product directory.(SBL-STJ-00203)
We are currently running 8.1.1.1 SIA [21211] HOTFIX QF0149.
Further, customer had the following reported behavior:
Running ImageCreator does not prompt for SIA or SEA...
Solution
Answer/Comments:In light to the above error message "(SBL-STJ-00203)" - Please note that this error or behavior is caused due to applying or installing incorrect Siebel Application Versions. In other words, applying SEA patch in a SIA environment.
Hence when creating an installation image from the jar files downloaded from My Oracle Support site (MOS), the SIA or SEA option should be chosen according to the environment used.
When trying to apply SEA patch in SIA environment, the wrong directory error will appears.
For example, considering this case scenario that customer is using Siebel SIA.
So when you run Siebel Image Creator please do the following:
1) At the "Select one of the following:" step select "Create a new image or add product(s) to an existing image" and click next
2) Select the directory where you wish to copy the installer images and click next
3) At the "Select an application type:" make sure you select "Siebel Industry Applications (SIA)" and click next
4) Go through the screens and create the install image
For more details on the image creator, please review the following Siebel Bookshelf version 7.8/8.0 references:

Next, customer came back with the following feedback:
Running ImageCreator does not prompt for SIA or SEA...
*********************
ImageCreator does not ask if I want to create images for SIA or SEA. Here are the steps I am taking:
1) Run Image Creator (./Linux_ImageCreator -console)
2) Enter 1 for Next
3) Enter 1 to create a new image
4) Enter 0 to continue
5) Enter 1 for Next
6) Enter Installation Directory (/opt/siebel/repository/8.1.1.3sia/Install_Image)
7) Enter 1 for Next
8) Enter 5 for Linux
9) Enter 0 for Next
10) Enter 1 for Next
11) Enter 1 for Siebel Enterprise Server
12) Enter 0 for Next
13) Enter 1 for Next
14) Enter 1 for ENU
15) Enter 0 for Next
16) Enter 1 for Next
17) Images are created, without any prompt for SIA or SEA
********************
Lastly after further investigation customer confirmed that the issue was resolved and the main root cause in this particular was as follows:
Final Resolution for the Image Creator issue (i.e. Running ImageCreator does not prompt for SIA or SEA) :
For the benefit of other readers, if you created images for SBA instead of SIA and wish to create images for SIA, you must remove the images for SBA first. Otherwise imagecreator assumes you want the same version - it will not prompt for the options.
In summary, clean up the existing SBA images or any previous versions of images and then run the image creator from scratch and now you will be able to pick the option of SBA or SIA application type.
