Creating Content Objects for ADM

This topic is part of About Siebel ADM Configurations for New Data Types.

Creating a content object for Application Deployment Manager (ADM) allows you to migrate new database data types using ADM.

Note: The preconfigured data types do not require any configuration in Siebel Tools.

Before creating a content object, make sure that you have created an integration object for the data that you want to migrate. See Creating Integration Objects for ADM.

The content object specifies the data to be migrated from one Siebel application to another. Each content object is composed of a business object and an integration object. Content objects are workspace-enabled.

Content objects are also used by Content Center. The following procedure references properties that are necessary for ADM functionality. For Content Center functionality, additional properties must be set for the content object. For more information about Content Center, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

Note: One content object can be used by both Content Center and ADM at the same time.

To create a content object for ADM

  1. Log in to Siebel Tools or Siebel Web Tools as an administrator.

  2. Create a new workspace.

  3. Navigate to the Content Objects type.

  4. Create a new record.

  5. Add the data type business object to the content object record.

  6. Add the data type integration object to the content object record.

  7. Create child records. On the child record, enter the name of a view that does not have any visibility setting (admin view) by selecting from the picklist.

    The child record determines which view is used during the preview functionality in the ADM GUI. This view must correspond to the business object of the data area.
