Creating ADM Deployment Projects

Creating Application Deployment Manager (ADM) deployment projects is a step in Process of Creating Siebel ADM Deployment Units from Database Types. A project is the template that can be reused to export the same data types on a regular basis. A project can contain many data types.

To create an ADM deployment project

1. Navigate to the Application Deployment Manager screen, then the Deployment Projects view.

2. In the Deployment Projects list, click the menu button and then New Record.

3. Fill in the project record fields as necessary.

   See the following table for more information about some of these fields.

   Field	Description
   Name	The name of the deployment project.
   Target System	The target system for deploying the migration information. The value must be the URL to the target EAI Object Manager. URL format: https://hostname:port/siebel/app/eai/lang Example: https://myhost:9001/siebel/app/eai/enu Note: This parameter is required only for HTTP online deployment.
   Target User Name	The user name required to access the target system. Note: This parameter is required only for HTTP online deployment.
   Active Flag	Set by default, this flag signifies that the project is available for deployment as a deployment session. Clearing this field makes sure that this project is not deployed.
   Export to File	Check this field if you want to export into a file. Otherwise, leave it unchecked. Note: When you are deploying migration projects using the Siebel Migration application, you must uncheck this field for synchronous migration. Check this field for asynchronous migration. For more information about using the Siebel Migration application, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
   Session Configurable	Check this field if further configurations are required when accessing this project as a deployment session. If this value is unchecked, the project field Export to File, is read-only, as are the project data type fields, Active and Deployment Filter.

4. In the Deployment Project data type list, populate the new project with data types by clicking the menu button, then New Record. For each record, do the following:

   1. Select a previously created data type from the Data Type Name drop-down list.

      Note: If the data type of interest is not available, then it can be set as Inactive. Make sure that the Active field for the data type is checked in the Data Type Details view.

   2. Fill in the other data type record fields as necessary. See the following table for more information about some of these fields.

      Field	Description
      Active	Clear the active field to inactivate a data type within a project. Use this feature to migrate a deployment project without migrating the data from the inactivated data types.
      Deployment Filter	For more information about this field, see Creating ADM Deployment Filters.
      Deployment Mode	The type of deployment mode for the data type. There are four possible selections based on the data type: Synchronize. The business object instance in the database is synchronized with the object being imported; that is, the deployment can result in inserts, updates, or deletes. Note: Child data is deleted to match the imported object. Upsert. The business object instance in the database is updated with the object that is imported; that is, the deployment can result in inserts or updates (but not deletes). Insert. Available only to new objects (root components) that are imported (not a generic choice but supported for special cases only, for example, iHelp data type). Custom. Available only for deployment modes defined by custom (non-EAI) data types.

   3. Click the menu button and then Save Record.

5. Add other data types as required to the draft deployment project.

   Note: If a relationship is set up between two data types, then only the parent data type is visible in the picklist. However, after you add the data type to the project item list, the parent data type record can be expanded to reveal the child data types. Make sure to save the record if you cannot expand the parent data type.

6. From the Deployment Projects list, click the menu button and then Save Record.
