The cloud is pushing the needs of Dev-Ops for quicker and more efficient application delivery and automated Release Management. The challenge with current, often manual scripted processes is costly. They need to overcome deployment bottlenecks, speed the update/patch process and avoid error driven disruptions. Release management process is often performed manually raising the likelihood of error-driven disruptions, deployment bottlenecks and leaving a gap between Development and IT Operation teams. Server environments vary between Development, QA, Staging, and Production, and these differences often cause problems when applications are promoted between them.

Validata SAS Release Coordinator enables IT organizations to automate the process of application updates, resulting in shortened release cycles, application configuration alignment, and automated updates across groups. Users can ensure that server and application configurations are consistent across environments by tracking application compliance in each environment against a distributed application policy model. All deployment actions can be authorized based on user roles, ensuring appropriate levels of user access. If necessary, deployments can be rolled back easily. Deployment of applications themselves can also be automated, even for deployments that consist of complex, multi-tier changes, such as sequenced updates of web, application, and database servers. The net result of these capabilities is shortened release cycles, enabling organizations to achieve faster time-to-market.

Planning Execution Tracking Audit Central Repository Capability to easily specify the tasks that are going to be implemented in a new release system and the dates for new release deployments. Automatic execution of package deployment across multiple environments Easy and fast tracking of application compliance in each environment against a distributed release application policy model. Full history and audit trail of new release deployments Full management of all release deployments s enabled through a central repository

Environment-specific Transaction Safe Deployments: Pre-screening for any potential errors in any environment prior to committing changes, and rollback of changes upon failure or at user request Promotion rules for package deployment across environments and teams Access control for administrators based on role, environment, package or their properties Packaging and Automation updates integrated to environments Configuration control across pre- production and production environments Defining properties and interdependencies for complex applications and environments Integrated Alerting mechanism with automated notifications upon predefined system event Schedule the Release Planning and reporting for all Tasks statuses supporting multiple teams and locations Impact analysis reporting of the unfinished and uncovered software development requirements

Entry Criteria Baseline has been planned and content has been confirmed Baseline impact analysis report has been created and verified Activities Deploy the Baseline to QA environment for testing Deploy the Baseline to Pre-Production environment for Testing Run the automated environments comparison reports to identify any differences Cut the Baseline Update all the related change requests with status closed Notify the related stakeholders Deliverables Change request coverage status Deployment reporting and environments comparison

Creation of workflows : Process, Roles, Dependencies

In our days the main Base code development gets implemented at the main development site or it is out sourced to the vendor. When ready and tested, gets shared and delivered at the business sites where now it has to be combined with the local developments, get tested and communicate with several interfaces. Remote Release Management Capabilities  Fully automated Deployment (records, data, objects, versions)  Role Based  Integrity of the Build  Pre-screening for any potential errors in any environment  Rollback of changes upon failure or at user request  Multiple Catalogues support (Multiple Versions )  Independent staging area Benefits  Reduce Deployment errors  Reduce defects and improve consistency in packages across environments  Accuracy during package development, promotion, and deployment across environments.  Reduced deployment costs through increased effectiveness and accuracy  Reduce downtime by ensuring consistency in configurations across multiple environments.  Lower downtime costs through the ability to back out changes on demand or upon failures in any environment.
