About the ADM Package Utility Modes and Switches
The ADM Package Utility creates and validates the ADM deployment package required by the ADM framework to deploy Siebel application customizations to a target environment. For more information on this utility, see About the ADM Package Utility. There are three ADM Package Utility modes:
- Init. Creates an empty ADM package directory structure. Deployment files must be manually copied into this directory structure before using the other ADM Package Utility functions. For more information on this task, see Creating the ADM Package Directory Structure.
- Generate. Creates the ADM package descriptor file. For more information on this task, see Generating the ADM Package.
- Validate. Validates an existing ADM package. The package directory structure must be in place and the generate function executed before running the validate function. For more information on this task, see Validating the ADM Package.
NOTE: If the mode is not stated in the admpkgr command, generate mode is the default mode.
The ADM Package Utility uses several switches, as described in Table 6, depending on the packaging option required. To modify the switches, edit the admpkgr.bat file. TIP: For more information on copying the ADM Package Utility to other environments, see Copying the ADM Package Utility to a UNIX Environment.
