Creating ADM Deployment Filters

Creating Application Deployment Manager (ADM) data filters is an optional, but highly recommended, task of the ADM Server Manager GUI set-up process. This task is a step in the Process for Migrating Customizations Between Applications.

The deployment filter allows the migration of specially selected records of that particular data type. It is recommended to use a filter for each data type. For further information about deployment filters, see About ADM Deployment Filters.

To create an ADM deployment filter

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, select the Project of interest.
4. In the Deployment Project data types list, select the Data Type of interest.
5. In the Deployment Filter field, create a search expression to filter out only those items of a data type matching the condition for migration.

   NOTE:  For details on the format for deployment filters, see About ADM Deployment Filters.

6. To make sure the filter is accurate, click the Validate Filter button.
