Setting Up File Prepare and Deploy

Siebel Migration File Prepare and Deploy service does the following:

• Migrates file artifacts from the source environment to the target environment.
• Migrates only file artifacts from Siebel Application Interface (AI) and the Siebel File System.
• If the target environment has multiple Application Interface nodes, it migrates all file artifacts to all the Application Interface nodes.
• Supports incremental file Migration (migrates only new or modified files).
• Uses the Checksum utility to check whether the file is modified or not.

The list of directories considered for Migration are configured in the filemig_config.properties file. The filemig_config.properties file is located in the following directory:

<Application Interface Home>\applicationcontainer\webapps

The filemig_config.properties file:

• Contains three properties:
  • inclusion-dir
  • exclude-dir
  • exclude-extension
• Considers all the files from the list of directories provided in the inclusion-dir property.
• Ignores all the directories mentioned in the exclude-dir from the include-dir only.
• Ignores the files whose extensions are part of exclude-extension property

Sample filemig_config.properties file:

inclusion-dir=%ORACLE_HOME%/applicationcontainer/webapps/siebel/files, %FS_HOME%/att
exclude-dir=%ORACLE_HOME%/applicationcontainer/webapps/siebel/files/3rdParty
exclude-extension=xps, pdf

Where:

• %ORACLE_HOME% is the AI installation directory.
• %FS_HOME% is the Siebel File System Path.

You can add multiple directories separated by a comma.
