The document discusses Application Deployment Manager (ADM) in Siebel. It describes ADM as a tool that automates the process of migrating customizations between Siebel environments. It lists several data types that can be deployed including lists of values, views, and assignment rules. It explains the architecture and deployment methods including file deployment and online deployment. It provides steps for creating new data types that can be deployed and discusses best practices and troubleshooting for ADM.

5. Introduction
• Problem:
• Migrating run-time customizations like
LOVs, Assignment Rules, Predefined
queries, views etc. from one
environment to another is manual and
error prone.

6. What is ADM ?
• ADM is a feature that automates the process of
migrating enterprise customization data
• ADM is designed to provide a single deployment tool
that covers various areas within the Siebel
application.
• The objective is to reduce the potential manual setup
and deployment work and provide as much
automation as possible to decrease the error rate.

12. File Deployment illustration
Lets migrate LOV of type 'IBU_BUSINESS_LINE”
•Step1 : Create Deployment Project , Validate
Filters and enable project
•Step2 : Create Deployment Session -> deploy (will
create a XML file)
•Step 3: Go to target system, import from the XML
file
•Step 4: verify the results

13. Create Deployment Project
Site Map > Application Deployment Manager >
Deployment Projects Check flag ‘Export to File’
Once done
click Enable
to enable
the
deployment
project
Click on
Specify
Select
Data Validate the filter
type to filter to
be validate
exporte the filter http://siebel-learnings.blogspot.com 13
d

14. Create Deployment session
SiteMap> Application Deployment Manager> Deployment Sessions
Click “New” button select Project Name and validate filter
Click
“Deploy”
to export to
XML file

15. Importing into destination
Environment
Login to target environment , go to Deployment Sessions
Menu> Deploy From File

17. Creating new Data types
• Step1: Identify the BO and BC of new ADM
data type to be created.
• Step 2: Create Integration Object
• Step 3: Create Content Object
• Step 4: Export Newly created Data type
http://siebel-learnings.blogspot.com 17

18. New Data type creation
• Step1: Create a new Integration Object using Integration
Wizard
– Business Service : EAI Siebel Wizard
– Bus Object : <Identified BO for new datatype>
• Step2: Create a new ‘Content Object’ and specify the
above Integration Object in the Integration Object property.

19. • Step3 :EXPORT NEWLY CREATED DATA TYPE
– Sitemap  Application Deployment Manager  Data
Type Details
– Create a new record and choose ‘Comm Package’ (this
we created in Siebel Tools in Steps 1 &2) from the
‘Content Object’ pick applet.

20. New data type is available
New data type is now
available for use

21. Trouble shooting
•An error occurred exporting to file : Make sure
the path is accessible
•Activate all ADM related workflow processes :
“UDA*”
•Make sure Work flow process manager and
workflow process batch managers are available.
•Both the environments repository and SRF
should be identical
•EAI Object manager should be active on the
target system while doing online deployment
•Bulk transfer of data is not supported with
ADM, you will receive errors if the record count
is more than 10K
