After the configurations are complete, the project must be checked into the server, and various server administration procedures must be run. To update your deployment with these new configurations, see Updating Your Siebel Assignment Manager Deployment with New Configurations. For more information about compiling projects, see Using Siebel Tools. For information on distributing the siebel.srf file, see Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide. An assignment rule can now be created that assigns child accounts based on the parent's primary address. NOTE: Make sure the child account has a value in the PAR_OU_ID column pointing to a parent account that has the primary address.
