Synchronizing Repository Updates

Perform the following tasks to make sure the repository data in the Siebel Application Deployment Manager (ADM) source and target environments are synchronized:

• Compile the Siebel Repository File (SRF) after changes are made to the repository. For information on compiling the SRF, see Using Siebel Tools.

  NOTE:  Compiling the SRF generates browser scripts that must be copied to the file\AppServer\webmaster subdirectory of the deployment package directory (for example, under C:\sba81\mgmtsrvr\adm\packages\sample).

• Run SRFDiff, using Siebel Tools, to compare two given SRF files. The utility validates whether the SRF files contain the same object data. Differences are reported in output files. If differences are reported, do not deploy the package to the production environment. For information on using the SRFDiff utility to validate the SRF files, see Using the SRFDiff Utility for Validation and Diagnosis. For more information on using the SRFDiff utility, see Using Siebel Tools.
• Perform a repository migration, using the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard, if any discrepancies exist between repositories after a compiled repository objects migration. For information on the Database Configuration Wizard and repository migration, see Going Live with Siebel Business Applications.

NOTE:  You must run the Synchronize Database Definition option (DDLSync) in the Database Configuration Wizard after any database schema changes are migrated from one environment to another. For more information about the Database Configuration Wizard, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide and Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
