Creating ADM Deployment Projects

Creating Application Deployment Manager (ADM) deployment projects is a step in Process for Migrating Customizations Between Applications. A project is the template that can be reused to migrate the same data types on a regular basis. A project can contain many data types.

To create an ADM deployment project

1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigation > Site Map > Application Deployment Manager screen.
2. From the link bar, click Deployment Projects.
3. In the Deployment Projects list, click the menu button and then New Record.
4. Fill in the project record fields as necessary. See the following table for details on some of these fields.

   Field	Description
   Name	Name for the deployment project.
   Target System	Target system for deploying the migration information. This should be the URL to the target EAI object manager.
   Target User Name	User name required to access the target system.
   Active Flag	Set by default, this flag signifies the project is available for deployment as a deployment session. Clear this field to make sure this project is not deployed.
   Export to File	Check this field if migrating data by using export files. See Deploying Sessions Using Export Files for information on this process.
   Session Configurable	Check this field if further configurations are required when accessing this project as a deployment session. If this value is unchecked, the project field Export to File is read-only, as are the project data type fields, Active and Deployment Filter.
5. In the Deployment Project data type list, populate the new project with data types by clicking the menu button then New Record. For each record:
   1. Select a previously created data type from the Data Type Name drop-down list.

      NOTE:  If the data type of interest is not available, it may be set to inactive. Check to make sure the Active field is set in the Data Type Details view.

   2. Fill in the other data type record fields as necessary. See the following table for details on some of these fields.

      Field	Description
      Active	Clear the active field to inactivate a data type within a project. Use this feature to migrate a deployment project without migrating the data from the inactivated data types.
      Deployment Filter	See Creating ADM Deployment Filters for details on this field.
      Allow Child Delete	Check this flag to allow deletion of the target child records, which keeps the object's data structure identical between the source and target environments. This flag issues the EAI Adaptor command: Sync. For further information, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration

   3. Click the menu button and then Save Record.
6. Add other data types as required to the draft deployment project.

   NOTE:  If a relationship is set up between two data types, only the parent data type is visible in the picklist. However, after adding the data type to the project item list, the parent data type record can be expanded to reveal the child data types. Make sure to save the record if you cannot expand the parent data type.

7. From the Deployment Projects list, click the menu button and then Save Record.
