Backing Up Before Deploying Siebel ADM Packages

This task is a step in Process of Deploying a Siebel ADM Package. Executing the backup command backs up the target environment's current application customizations that are updated based on the Siebel Application Deployment Manager (ADM) package and enterprise profile referenced in the command. This process occurs automatically during deployment, but running it separately reduces the deployment time.

NOTE:  The flag to configure the automatic backup during deployment is set in the enterprise profile.

To back up target environment before deploying an ADM package

• At the ADM command-line prompt, enter:

  deploy_enterprise_name backup username password package_name
