Using a Hotfix to Deploy Fixes to the Production Environment
This topic describes how to export objects to a hotfix. A hotfix is a Siebel Tools feature you can use to quickly update the production environment. You can use it to update a small number of object definitions, and then export and migrate them to the target enterprise. It is most useful if you want to fix a small programming error. For example, it is useful when you discover an error in the script of a business service method that you want to quickly fix and deploy to the production environment in a short time frame. To use a hotfix to deploy fixes to the production environment
- In the Object List Editor, locate the object you want to modify.
For more information, see Locating and Modifying Object Definitions in the Object List Editor.
- Right-click the object you located in Step 1, and then click Add to Hot-Fix.
Siebel Tools displays the Generate Hot-Fix dialog box and adds the object you choose to the Objects to Include in Hot-Fix list. You can export a workflow process or task UI only if the status property of the workflow process or task UI is Completed.
- If you want to add more objects, then repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each object. Do not close the Generate Hot-Fix dialog box while you add these objects.
You can add objects of the same object type or you can add objects of another object type.
- Add text in the Hot-Fix Label window that describes this hotfix.
- Click Export.
Siebel Tools displays a dialog box that confirms that it successfully created the hotfix in the following folder:
SIEBEL_TOOLS_ROOT \ADM\hot_fix_label
This folder includes a SIF file, an XML description of the hotfix contents, and a log file.
- Click OK.
