Overview
Rational Software Architect Extension for Deployment Planning helps reduce deployment risks and improve development-operations communications through deployment specifications
Bridge the Development-Operations communication gap with semantically rich topology templates and deployment models to ensure that your software solutions deploy correctly on the first attempt. This extension can be used with IBM® Rational® Software Architect and provides:
- New! – Publish Topologies directly to the Development and Test Cloud through Cloud Client API
- New! – Discover WebSphere Application Server configuration from Tivoli® Application Discovery Dependency Manager
- New! – Support to configure WebSphere® Application Server Network Deploy
- New! – Support to model WebSphere® Portal
- Deployment planning based upon semantically and visually rich deployment topology models
- Integration with UML and Eclipse, enabling conceptual (UML, SoaML) or concrete (e.g. EAR, WAR) representations of to-be-deployed software to be mapped to deployment plans
- Deployment planning tools that guide you to create plans that ensure the environmental and non-functional requirements of to-be-deployed software will be fulfilled by the correct intrastructure, correctly configured
- Rich tool palettes that include representations of many infrastructure technology domains and enapsulate extensive knowledge of the technology capabilities and configuration points
- Ability to create and re-use infrastructure topology and deployment plan templates (patterns) to drive standardization and accelerate the deployment planning activity
- Topology reporting with BIRT
- Integration with IBM® Rational® Asset Manager for managing deployment templates, custom domains (palettes), and plans
- Integration with IBM® Tivoli® Application Dependency Discovery Manager, to seed the creation of topologies and templates based on actual provisioned infrastructure and “live” configuration data registered in IBM® Tivoli® Change and Configuration Management Data Base
- Operating systems supported: Linux, Windows family
