Setting Up File Prepare and Deploy

Siebel Migration File Prepare and Deploy service does the following:

  • Migrates file artifacts from the source environment to the target environment.

  • Migrates only file artifacts from Siebel Application Interface (AI) and the Siebel File System.

  • If the target environment has multiple Application Interface nodes, it migrates all file artifacts to all the Application Interface nodes.

  • Supports incremental file Migration (migrates only new or modified files).

  • Uses the Checksum utility to check whether the file is modified or not.

The list of directories considered for Migration are configured in the filemig_config.properties file. The filemig_config.properties file is located in the following directory:

<Application Interface Home>\applicationcontainer_external\webapps

The filemig_config.properties file:

  • Contains three properties:

    • inclusion-dir

    • exclude-dir

    • exclude-extension

  • Considers all the files from the list of directories provided in the inclusion-dir property.

  • Ignores all the directories mentioned in the exclude-dir from the include-dir only.

  • Ignores the files whose extensions are part of exclude-extension property

Sample filemig_config.properties file:

inclusion-dir=%ORACLE_HOME%/applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot/files, %FS_HOME%/att
exclude-dir=%ORACLE_HOME%/applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot/files/3rdParty exclude-extension=xps, pdf

Where:

  • %ORACLE_HOME% is the AI installation directory.

  • %FS_HOME% is the Siebel File System Path.

You can add multiple directories separated by a comma.
