Migrating customizations between applications using the Application Deployment Manager (ADM) feature has been substantially enhanced for release 8.0 of Siebel Business Applications.

Prior ADM functionality documented in this guide was limited to a subset of database data types and deployment was run through the Siebel Business applications GUI or command-line interface.

The 8.0 version of ADM includes new data types available for migration, a new ADM architecture, and a deployment process that includes activation, backups, and detailed logging and status reporting. For complete information on the new ADM feature, see the new Siebel Application Deployment Manager Guide.

Migrating customizations outside the new ADM framework, as in past versions, is supported. All documentation on former ADM behavior is also located in the new Siebel Application Deployment Manager Guide.
