DEMO: CrossVista TEAM Server’s Custom Patch Management and Ticket-Based Development
Duration: 18:37 minutes
Summary: This demo will show how TEAM Server can allow webMethods developers to easily create “patches” during development and for the purposes of deployment. CrossVista TEAM Server can generate two types of “patches”. Package patches are changes made to an Integration Server package baseline. Project patches consist of changes to a given webMethods project and can include changes to Integration Server, Trading Networks, webMethods BPM, MyWebMethods, and more. Furthermore, we will show how this new patch functionality is integrated with ticket management solutions such as Atlassian Jira, ClearQuest, HP Quality Center, Remedy, and more.
Note: If the video flashes initially, then please press pause and wait a few moments. The flashing will stop once the video is fully loaded.
DEMO: CrossVista TEAM Server’s Patch Management and Jira Integration for webMethods System Patches
Duration: 14:52 minutes
Summary: This demo will show how CrossVista TEAM Server can be used to manage Software AG supplied patches to webMethods Integration Server, Broker, Trading Networks, MyWebMethods and webMethods BPM. We will show you how to create a baseline release using just the core webMethods Integration Server files and packages, create a new patch Release using a Diff between the baseline release and a live server, deploy the newly created patch to a one or more servers, and finally rollback an Integration Server to it’s previous patch level. We will also show how each of these actions can automatically update tickets within Atlassian Jira. Support for ClearQuest, Remedy, HP Quality Center, and other ticket management systems will be added shortly.
Note: If the video flashes initially, then please press pause and wait a few moments. The flashing will stop once the video is fully loaded.
DEMO: TEAM Server’s Support for developing Portlets and Process Models in webMethods Designer
Duration: 10:15 minutes
Summary: This demo will look at a very simple webMethods BPM project that is front ended by a portlet and then walk thru how CrossVista TEAM Server and the CrossVista TEAM VCS plugin for Eclipse can manage changes to that project. Within the webMethods Designer, we will first make a change to the portlet, perform a diff on the portlet to verify the change, and then commit the portlet to the repository. We will then make a couple small changes to the process model, perform a diff on the process model to verify the changes, and then commit the changes to the repository. We will then move over to TEAM Server and compose a new Release from the artifacts in the repository (including the new revisions). Finally, that newly created Release is deployed to the physical environment.
DEMO: TEAM Server’s Support for developing on Integration Server 6.x and Trading Networks 6.x
Duration: 14:44 minutes
Summary: This demo will look at how CrossVista TEAM Server manages code and configuration changes during development for webMethods Integration Server and Trading Networks. We will make some changes to a Trading Networks Processing Rule in TN console, capture those changes using TEAM Server, perform a Diff so we can see exactly what changes were made, and then commit those changes to a third party version control repository (SubVersion, ClearCase, CVS, VSS, etc) using TEAM Server. We will repeat those steps while making multiple changes to Flow-based and Java-based Integration Server Services using multiple developer accounts. We will also merge together multiple revisions into one revision and then compose a new Release by selectively incorporating our newly created revisions into a new release. (Note: All CrossVista support for developing on IS services showcased in this demo are also available within the webMethods Eclipse-based Designer. Promotions and deployments will not be convered in this demo because they are covered by other recorded demos.)
DEMO: CrossVista TEAM Server’s Integrated Build/Release Management
Duration: 12:44 minutes
Summary: This demo will take a detailed look at CrossVista’s ability to promote and deploy new Releases for webMethods projects. We will first walk thru a Release containing code and configuration settings for multiple webMethods components. We will then create and execute a new promotion rule that automatically reconfigure that Release for a new environment. Finally, we will deploy that reconfigured Release to a physical UAT environment.
DEMO: Operational Troubleshooting – A Real World Example
Duration: 9:34 minutes
Summary: This demo will take a detailed look at how CrossVista TEAM Server can be used to identify mistakenly applied (or unauthorized) changes to your webMethods environments. We will take a look at a real world scenario that actually took place at one of our customer sites. This customer used two load-balanced Integration Servers to process incoming purchase orders. Everything functioned very well until suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, one of their servers began to inconsistently stop processing orders… there was no obvious pattern to it. Watch this demo to see how TEAM Server was used to quickly identify and resolve an issue that could have otherwise taken hours or days to troubleshoot.
