The FlexDeploy Siebel plugin makes it easy to migrate Siebel repository objects from one environment to another. Migrations can utilize either a full Siebel repsoitory repository migration or the incremental migrations can be used. This migration provides the same flexibility as the Siebel Migration Tool but , enabling automation through FlexDeploy workflows and pipelines. This provides the added value of being able to incorporate the migration of Siebel objects with other projects of different technologies in the same release.

Workflow Considerations
For Siebel incremental and full deploy workflows, the operations would normally be organized like this:This plugin provides several operations to enable both full repository migrations, as well as incremental repository migrations. The following table identifies the plugin operations, the type of workflow that they will be utilized in, and the endpoint in which they should be executed on.
| Workflow Step/plugin operation | Workflow Type | Endpoint Selection |
|---|---|---|
| siebelIncrementalBuild | Build | Siebel Source or Any |
| createWatermark | PreDeploy or Deploy | Siebel Target |
| siebelIncrementalExport | PreDeploy or Deploy | Siebel Source |
| siebelIncrementalImport | Deploy | Siebel Target |
| siebelFullBuild | Build | Siebel Source |
| siebelFullDeploy | Deploy | Siebel Target |

A PreDeploy workflow can be utilized in cases where the content that was exported from the source Siebel needs to be validated prior to importing that to the next environment. |
To set the Endpoint selection, select the appropriate resource type (Siebel Source or Siebel Target) when adding the workflow step like this:
