About the ADM Package Descriptor File

This topic is part of Validating the Siebel ADM Package.

The package descriptor file, package_descriptor.xml, contains information that is grouped by data type: database, repository, and file. Individual deployment unit details are listed in chronological order under each data type. If there are no units for a particular data type in the package, that data type group is not created.

Each deployment unit has details such as:

• PackageNameAtCreation. The package name at creation.
• SchemaVersion. The aggregate SchemaVersion of all the database units.

The package descriptor file has an attribute, ActivateOnly, which can be manually set to TRUE to make the package ActivateOnly. By default. this attribute is set to FALSE.
