Moving Nonrepository Data

This task is a step in Process of Moving Data to the Test Environment.

Moving application run-time customization data from one Siebel application environment to another Siebel application environment is a common requirement when you go live to a new development, test, or production environment. The Application Deployment Manager (ADM) automates moving this data. For example, ADM can move customization data from a development environment to a testing environment. ADM eliminates the need to transfer this data manually. Modified views, responsibilities, and assignment rules are examples of enterprise customization data. ADM does not change the data that it moves.

You can use ADM to move the following data types:

• Access Groups
• Assignment Rule
• Expense Types
• List of Value (LOV)
• Product Feature
• Product Line
• Public Predefined Query (PDQs)
• Responsibility
• State Model
• User List
• View

These data types are included in the predefined Siebel application. You can use Siebel Tools to add more data types for use with ADM.

If you use ADM, then you perform most of the administrative tasks to move data in the Application Deployment Manager screen in the Siebel client. These tasks require the Siebel administrator responsibility. For more information, see Creating Responsibilities.

The ADM setup process in the ADM user interface creates a template in which you can move one data type on a regular basis, if required. The deployment project is the fundamental structure of this template. The deployment project includes one or more data types that you can move.

For more information, see Siebel Application Deployment Manager Guide.
