Deploy Overview
Opcon Deploy is a Change Management compliance application that deploys Schedule definitions between OpCon environments in a controlled and consistent manner
Utilizes a central repository that contains:
- Schedule Definitions
- Transformation Rules
- Additional required configuration information
The Deploy Database/Repository implements:
- Versioning of Schedules, Scripts, and Transformation Rules
- The concept of a Package that can be used to group Schedules to ensure consistent deployment
- Auditing on all User actions
- Transformation capabilities allowing a single Definition to be deployed to multiple systems with automatic target system adjustments
Updates are performed within a single transaction
- Allows the existing Definition to be in a consistent state should error occur
- Provides simulated deployment which performs an error check and reports any issues
- Provides rollback capabilities to quickly restore a deployment to a previous stable version
- Provides Batch Deployment capability allowing deployments to be scheduled for future dates and times
Server Communication
- Uses a new RESTful web server (ImpEx2 Server) that provides communication between Deploy and OpCon systems
- Provides User, Server, and Global settings
- Users are associated with Roles which determine the functions available to the selected User
- Deploy Users are mapped to OpCon system Users
- Servers are associated with Types which determine the Users with access to the Server via User Roles
- Servers are mapped to specified OpCon systems
