1.3.3 Improving release management efficiency
Part of release management involves activity like adding hard disk space and memory capacity to servers. By linking with JP1/AO, you can automate and streamline tasks associated with these configuration changes. You can also use single sign-on to display, from JP1/IM - Service Support, the window from which you can submit the relevant JP1/AO service.
The following figure shows an operation example.
|
-
The release manager enters the proposed action in the registered Item, and submits it for approval.
-
The release-management representative reviews the proposed action and gives his or her approval.
-
The release manager opens the relevant JP1/AO Submit Service dialog box from the JP1/IM - Service Support window.
-
The release manager views the proposed work in the Item entered in JP1/IM - Service Support, and manually enters the elements required to execute the service.
When the service finishes executing, an email is sent to the user who submitted the service for execution.
-
The release manager views the execution results of the service in the JP1/AO Task Details dialog box by clicking the URL in the notification email.
-
The release manager logs in to JP1/IM - Service Support, opens the Edit item window for the item, and enters the results of the JP1/AO service execution.
You can make these results easy to access later by entering the URL of the relevant JP1/AO Task Details window in the Related information field.
