Rational Automation Framework

Rational software

Features and benefits

Rational Automation Framework is a customizable framework to provide automation of environment build-outs, configuration management, and application deployments on heterogeneous middleware platforms.

FeaturesBenefits
Data-driven, centralized framework
  • Ensure that the right data is associated with the right application in the right environment—each time, every time
Rich user Interface
  • Design, edit, and manage middleware configuration data
    • Add new configurations to a cell which is especially useful when working with virtualized software images
    • Examine a live cell and store the configuration information as it exists in the cell
    • Easily move a configuration from one environment to another, while allowing environmental specific data to be replaced
    • Push a stored configuration to the runtime environment
  • Compare configuration data
    • Quickly identify and address differences between expected and actual cell data
    • Easily determine differences between environments, and verify similarities to prevent configuration drift
    • Execute a comparison between a stored configuration and the actual runtime configuration, highlighting the differences between them
  • Design, edit, manage, and run automation plan
    • Reduce time to market and continue to decrease time to market as subsequent environments are generated
  • View automation results
Environment generation wizard
  • Specify the criteria for the environment
  • Run project in an automated, hands-off manner
Self-documentation
  • Ensure that deployment process information is captured as artifacts are managed
    • Disparate teams can utilize artifacts in the same manner
Agent-less technology
  • Manage artifacts from a single central location
Deployment artifacts separate from deployment process
  • Promote reuse and increase scalability
Customizable framework
  • Leverage existing investment in tools and middleware management/deployment scripts while taking advantage of actions provided in RAF
Tasks organized into units
  • Connect to other software development processes to form a complete end-to-end automation solution extending from development through deployment
