Manifest File Migration Rules

The migration rules for this example are as follows. For each applet mapped to a manifest key in either of the following ways, an entry is made in the UI Objects applet.

• By using the Presentation_Model and Physical_Renderer user properties under the Applet object in Siebel Tools.

• By adding entries under the [Presentation Model] and [Physical Renderer] sections in the manifest_extensions.map file, in the SIEBSRVR_ROOT\objects folder on the Siebel Server.

Each time the manifest key is used in the legacy XML file, an entry is made in the new Manifest screen, and a record is also added to the Object Expression and Files views, using the rules shown in the following table.

Use of Keys in Legacy XML Files	Record Created in the Object Expression and Files Applets
Under a PLATFORM subsection within the PLATFORM_KEY_SPECIFIC section in the custom_manifest.xml	The record in the Object Expression applet with an expression value that evaluates to True only for the specified platform. The record also exists in the Files applet for any files associated with the record.
Under the KEY_COMMON section in the custom_manifest.xml	The record in the Object Expression applet with no entry in the Expression field. The record also exists the Files applet for any files associated with the record.
Under a PLATFORM section within the PLATFORM_KEY_SPECIFIC section in a custom Application Manifest XML file	The following records are created in the Object Expression applet: A record for Group Expression A record with an Expression value that evaluates to True only for the given platform A record with an Expression value that evaluates to True only for the given application The records in the Files applet are associated with the Group Expression.
Under the KEY_COMMON section in a custom Application Manifest XML file	The record in the Object Expression applet with an Expression value that evaluates to True only for the given application and a record in the Files applet for the file associated with the record.
