About the Siebel ADM Data Type Summary Table

This topic describes the column headings in Table A-1 that provide a summary definition of the content and functionality of individual Siebel Application Deployment Manager (ADM) data types. For information about how to use this information during the ADM packaging and deployment phases, see "How to Use This Appendix".

The following list explains the terms used in Table A-1:

• Data Type. Name of the ADM data type, which represents the customized application data. Some of the listed data types are linked to subtopics in "Siebel ADM Data Type Details", where more information can be found.

• Deployment Alias. Alternate name or alias of the ADM data type used during deployment.

• Category. High-level category of the ADM data types. There are three categories: database types, repository types, and file types.

• A (Activate). Indicates if the ADM data type is available for activation on the target environment. If it is not available, then the data type does not require activation to be deployed and becomes active as soon as the copy process is complete.

• S (System Impact). Indicates impact to the system, if any, when items of this type are deployed and activated. These are the possible values:

  • No impact. The data type can be deployed without any impact to the availability of the system.

  • User reconnect. The user must log in again to access any newly deployed items for this data type.

  • Manual activation. The data type does not support activation through the ADM framework; therefore, manual steps must be taken to complete the deployment.

  • Web server restart. Restart Web servers to fully deploy and activate the items for this data type.

  • Rolling server restart. Restart Siebel Servers to fully deploy and activate the items for this data type. However, it is possible to limit the impact on server availability by performing the deployment (and server restart) to a subset of the Siebel Servers at a time; that is, in a rolling fashion.

  • Siebel Enterprise Server restart. Restart the entire target Siebel Enterprise Server to fully deploy and activate items for this data type.
