Other Options for Deploying Customizations Using ADM

The following options for deploying Application Deployment Manager (ADM) customizations are available for database data type customizations only. These options do not require the use of the ADM framework, as outlined in Deploying Customizations Using the ADM Framework. They represent the ADM deployment methods available in earlier releases of Siebel Business Applications:

• About Deploying ADM Customizations Using ADM GUI and HTTP
• About Deploying ADM Customizations Using Export Files and ADM GUI
• About Deploying ADM Customizations Using Server Manager Command-Line Interface

NOTE:  These deployment options do not have the backup, activation, restore, or enhanced logging features of the ADM framework.

About Deploying ADM Customizations Using ADM GUI and HTTP

Deploying ADM customizations using the Siebel application ADM GUI is available to database types only. This deployment method requires both the source and target environment to be online and in communication using HTTP. The deployment is run from the source environment.

All ADM database types are available for migration using this method. However, the deployment is limited to just the copy operation of these run-time customizations. For more information on this deployment method, see Deploying ADM Sessions Using the Application Deployment Manager GUI.

About Deploying ADM Customizations Using Export Files and ADM GUI

Deploying ADM customizations using export files is available to certain database types only. This deployment method creates XML export files using the Siebel application ADM GUI. The XML files are exported from the source environment and imported into the target environment at the ADM GUI. For more information on this deployment method, see Deploying ADM Sessions Using Export Files and the ADM GUI.

About Deploying ADM Customizations Using Server Manager Command-Line Interface

Deploying ADM customizations using the Server Manager command-line interface (srvrmgr program) is available to certain database types only. This deployment method migrates export files created from the source environment, using the Siebel application ADM GUI, and migrates the export files using the Server Manager command-line interface and a preconfigured workflow process. For more information on this deployment method, see Deploying ADM Sessions Using Command-Line Interface.
