Transforming Data with ADM

Transforming data with Application Deployment Manager (ADM) is a step in Process of Creating Siebel ADM Deployment Units from Database Types.

Application Deployment manager (ADM) is a Siebel tool that you use to deploy data from a source environment to a target environment. While migrating data from the source to the target environment, you can transform the data using the EAI Data Map (before sending the data to the target environment to import).

This procedure describes how to create a Data Map and associate the data map with a Project Item.

To transform data with ADM

  1. Create the Data Map as follows

    1. Navigate to the Site Map, Administration - Integration screen, then the Data Map Editor view.

    2. On the Integration Object Map page that appears, create a new record and complete the fields as shown in the following table:

      Field Description

      Name

      Type in a name for the new data map record.

      Source Object Name

      From the drop-down menu in this field, select the Integration Object that is used in the Data Type (that is, the Project Item that uses the Data Type).

      Target Object Name

      From the drop-down menu in this field, select the Integration Object that is used in the Data Type (that is, the Project Item that uses the Data Type).

      Comments

      Type in any comment as required.

    3. Click Auto-Map

      Doing this populates the fields in the Integration Component Map and Integration Field Map applets.

    4. In the Integration Component Map applet, select the Integration Component to transform the data.

    5. In the Integration Field Map applet:

      • In the Target Field Name field, select the field to transform the data.

      • In the Source Expression field, select the expression to transform the data.

      Use expressions that Data Map supports. For more information about supported expressions, see Business Processes and Rules: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.

  2. Associate the Data Map with the Project Item as follows:

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

    2. In the Deployment Projects applet, select the deployment project that you want.

    3. In the Project Items applet, select a project item and then the appropriate data map in the Data Map field.

      The data map that you select will be used to transform the data. Repeat this step, as required, to map each project item in the deployment project to the appropriate data map.
