Configuring the ADM Registry

This topic is part of About Siebel ADM Configurations for New Data Types.

Configuring the Application Deployment Manager (ADM) registry must only occur when absolutely necessary, and extreme caution must be exercised to prevent the corruption of the ADM function.

Scenarios that require you to modify the ADM registry include the following:

• You are adding a new data type (database, EAI, or file).
• You are changing an ADM data type name.
• You need to edit the validation rules to include more components, or valid states for components, as part of the validation rules.

The ADM registry is an XML document, by default named adm_registry.xml, located in the MgmtSrvrInstallDir\ADM directory. This file defines the ADM deployment behavior. For more information on this file, see About the ADM Registry.

To configure the ADM registry file

1. Back up the existing adm_registry.xml file from the MgmtSrvrInstallDir\ADM directory to another location.
2. Navigate to the adm_registry.xml file in the MgmtSrvrInstallDir\ADM directory.
3. Open the adm_registry.xml file using an editor such as Microsoft Office InfoPath.
4. Locate the parameters to modify and enter the values you require.

   For information on the file structure and parameters of the ADM registry file, see About the ADM Registry.

For information on restoring the ADM registry, see Restoring the ADM Registry.
