How to Use This Appendix

This chapter contains details on each supported Siebel Application Deployment Manager (ADM) data type and the data types' behavior and dependencies during the ADM packaging, deployment, and activation processes. The tables in Summary of Siebel ADM Data Types and Siebel ADM Data Type Dependencies list this information.

A subset of data types requires additional consideration or configuration during the deployment process and are described in Siebel ADM Data Type Details.

Use this collected information on supported ADM data types to determine a migration strategy or when setting IT or infrastructure update policies. This information can help form a best course of action when performing complex ADM deployments with many dependencies.

You can also use this chapter to categorize the development data types based on the system impact or deployment behavior. This information is useful when combined with your internal release strategy. For example, data types that do not require activation can be deployed and made available immediately, with no downtime.
