Verifying the Test Environment

Before deploying using Siebel Application Deployment Manager (ADM), you should verify that your test environment is valid.

To verify the test environment

1. Generate the ADM package in the development environment.
2. Create the test environment as a clone of your production environment.
3. Deploy the repository deployment units (SIF files) from the package to your test environment.
4. Compile the SRF to a temporary location on the test environment.
5. In Siebel Tools, use the SRFDiff utility to compare the SRF created in Step 4 to the SRF from your source files.
6. If the two SRFs are the same, you can deploy the package directly to the production environment.
7. If the two SRFs are different, you should:
   1. Add the SRF from the temporary location to the package as a file item.
   2. Deploy file units (includes SRF) and database units to the test environment.
   3. Test and verify on your test environment.
