Build Management: Make Builds Transparent
Builds shouldn’t be difficult. They shouldn’t only happen when the stars are perfectly aligned. Or when your coding karma is just right. They should happen transparently, automatically, at your command.
Dimensions Build makes builds easy. Seamless. Transparent. Dimensions Build just works. It executes and manages scripts natively, or orchestrates builds in other build tools such as Serena Builder, Catalyst OpenMake, ANT, or Make. Dimensions Build provides:
- Configurable sets of build stages
- Open architecture allowing the use of virtually any build engine
- Integrated build scheduler
- Integrated Dimensions CM role management to control build administration and execution
- Comprehensive audit trail
Release Management: Bridge the AD – IT Ops Divide
Pushing out releases can be painful. Once code is built, an application development team’s work is largely done, but it’s just beginning for IT operations. Often the handoff of new code from AD to IT Ops isn’t effectively coordinated, leaving operations staff wondering what a new release will impact and leading to unforseen downstream impacts.
Dimensions CM makes it easy for AD and IT Ops to coordinate efforts, reducing the costs associated with promoting new code to production. With visibility into exactly what has been changed in each package, operations staff can forsee potential risks before pushing code into production.
To help automate release processes, Dimensions provides fully-audited transfer of files to any target system (such as development, QA, or production).
