Simplify, Automate, and Tame Your WebSphere Environments

Leigh Williamson - IBM STSM, Rational Build Forge Architecture and Development

Scott Bybee – Ascendant WICA Architecture and Development


28

Pain Points: “Spaghetti Infrastructure” Issues

� Lack of consistency and/or repeatability of

configuration changes

�Staff bogged down in keeping environments synchronized

� No ability to manage WebSphere environments

beyond the cell level

� No change history / audit trail for WebSphere

configuration

� Costly automation of configuration changes and

deployments

�Requires custom coding

�Time consuming to deploy without a framework

� Lack of a disaster recovery


29

Best Practices for WebSphere Administration

� There are many Best Practice procedures

recommended by WebSphere but not implemented

within the product

�Backup current version of application before updating with

new build

�Use source control to manage & control WebSphere

configuration settings

�Embed build id in J2EE EAR file Manifest.mf file as it is

built

�Fall back to previous version of the application if the

update fails or is unacceptable

�Store a record of who updates the application and when

(and why)

� Combination of Build Forge and WICA can automate these Best Practices to

ensure that they are guaranteed to be executed

What Is WICA?

� WebSphere Installation and Configuration Automation

� WICA is an enterprise configuration management framework for the

WebSphere Family of products that provides:

� Installation & patching automation

�Configuration change management

�Deployment automation

� WICA’s strength lies in its ability to

�Maintain environment configuration data

�Apply this data in a consistent and repeatable manner to your WebSphere

Enterprise Architecture.


32

How WICA works� Ability to chain actions together

� Context switching between cells

� Data Driven

� Binding of scoped configuration data,

environment, and action execution

� Common collection of reusable actions

� Reflects scope in WebSphere


33

Combination of Build Forge plus WICA

� Automation of Entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

� WICA is completely command line drive, plugs right into Build Forge

�Easy to integrate into Build Forge steps

�Automatic generation of Build Forge Projects within WICA

� Security layers (common interface for various roles involved in SDLC)

�Developer

�Build Engineer

�WebSphere Administrator

� User Friendly Web Interface

� Ability to thread tasks (horizontal clustered environment)

� Notifications

� Highly Customizable End to End Solution!
