Advanced TIBCO Framework
The Advanced TIBCO Framework (ATF) significantly improves the process of designing and implementing changes in the delivery cycle, supported by a sophisticated set of tools. The solution improves key points of the delivery process to maximise the efficiency by its standardisation and automation. ATF is evolutionary, so it leverages your existing processes.
ATF Solves the Following Issues of Standard Delivery Processes
- It is not possible to quickly and automatically setup a new environment as a clone of an existing environment
- It can be a new Integration environment or a private/virtualized Development environment
- Deployment configurations cannot be versioned in the same way as a Project definition
- Changes done in TIBCO Administrator can be lost or forgotten before the next project version is released
Deployment of the same Project with different configurations (load balancing, area-specific parameters, different environments) is time consuming and a potential source of errors — it is necessary to manually rewrite configuration in TIBCO Designer or TIBCO Administrator.
Benefits
ATF unifies and automates the build and deployment processes of TIBCO Projects, helping customers achieve significant reductions in cost and effort:
- Manual Creation of Installation Packages
- ATF minimises developer effort by 50% using a new environment skeleton as a copy of DEV.
- Operations work is reduced by 95%.
- Manual Deployments
- ATF speeds up deployment in Operations by 90%.
- ATF eliminates 50% of errors caused by incorrect global variable values.
- Setting Up a Cloned New Environment (PREPROD, PRODLIKE)
- Cloning an environment is 95% faster.
Brief Technical Description
- Based on standard technologies — Apache Ant, TIBCO TRA utilities
- Supports Unix, Linux, and Windows environments
- All sources, configurations, and application deployment settings are stored within one SCM
