Application Blueprint

UrbanCode for WebLogic

Application Deployment for Oracle Web Logic Server

– Stop, start, deploy, undeploy and redeploy.

Oracle Service Bus Management

– Import an XML file or JAR file to update configuration data

Resource Mgmt for Oracle WebLogic Server

– Around 60 steps for the management a variety of objects in WebLogic

Security Mgmt for Oracle WebLogic Server

– Manage authentication realms, users and groups

Resource Mgmt for Oracle WebLogic Integration

– Automate the creation, update, and deletion of objects within WebLogic Integration:

• File event generator

• FTP event generator

• JMS event generator

• XML cache entry

The Application Release Process

Deploy to Development

– Test

Deploy to QA

– Test

Deploy to Production

– Go home

Plans and documentation

– Run book of manual steps

– Spreadsheet record and assignment

– Project plan for dependencies

Manual network configuration

– Traffic rerouting

– Load balancer switch off

Deploy application to servers

– Scripted operation

Manually validate script execution

Further script execution

Manual approval for final switch over

– Email manager for approval

Application Release Automation – Delivery

Automate repetitive tasks - saving labour costs

• Build automation

• Quality Management and Test Automation

• Configuration Management

Discover defects earlier in the lifecycle - reducing the repair costs

• Requirements Analysis and Management

• Code Scanning

• Modeling and Model-driven development

Lower the risk - decreasing the variance of software projects

• Standardized software processes

• Traceability through Integration
