About the ADM Package Utility

This topic is part of About the Siebel ADM Client Environments.

The Application Deployment Manager (ADM) Package Utility creates and validates the ADM deployment package, which can then be used by the ADM framework to deploy Siebel application customizations to a target environment. It also creates the ADM package descriptor file that is used during the deployment process.

The ADM Package Utility is a stand-alone, Java-based program that is invoked through a batch file (admpkgr.bat) to execute various package commands at the command line. By default, it is installed with the Siebel Management Server and Siebel Tools, and you can copy it to other Windows or UNIX machines.
