About Verifying a Siebel ADM Deployment


After deploying a Siebel Application Deployment Manager (ADM) package, you can verify whether the file, repository, and database data is successfully deployed by ADM and correctly applied to the target environment by performing a postdeployment verification. The verification checks the objects within the release package against the objects in the target environment and is done at the unit level. The verification does not check whether the deployed data is activated successfully in the target environment.

For more information and the detailed procedure for verifying an ADM deployment, see Verifying a Siebel ADM Deployment.

NOTE:  The verification does not reflect any changes made to the data immediately after deployment.

You can verify an ADM deployment only after a successful deployment of the data (that is: the status is DEPLOYMENT_COMPLETE after invoking the copy operation) and before acknowledgment of the deployment session. When a session is acknowledged, you receive an error if you attempt to verify the deployment.

Postdeployment verification is only supported for deployments executed with the copy command in the ADM command-line interface. Verification is not supported for the restore operation. If you attempt to verify the deployment after a restore, you receive an error. Verification is also not supported for activate only sessions, nor is it supported for changes made outside a deployment session, for example, a repository migration.

The postdeployment verification operation is invoked at the ADM command-line interface with the verify command. However, verification is only possible if the deployment session is created with the -verify flag, which makes the deployment session verifiable. For more information on creating an ADM deployment session, see Creating an ADM Deployment Session.

If no differences are identified, the verify command returns a success message. If differences are identified, the verify command returns a failure message, which includes error codes and the name of the XML error log file.

The XML error log file includes the following information for each data type:

  • File data. The names of the deployed files and the ADM package they were verified against.
  • Repository data. The object name, object type, attribute name, attribute value together with the value in the package and the target environment, and the name of the ADM package they were verified against.
  • Database data. The data types, parent object row IDs or user keys, the location of each difference, and the name of the ADM package they were verified against.

For more information on the XML error log file, see About ADM Log Files on Siebel Management Server. For a list of files that are deployed to the target environment, see Creating a Destination Map for File Directories.
