4 Abstract > Release management workflows let s you get a handle on how software is distributed in a managed environment. Using the Web Admin Console (WAC) see how release management is implemented, including the capability to release software that follows ITIL Release Management best practices. In this session we will look at how release management is achieved with our out-of-the-box implementation and then explore some of the options for customization of the workflows that support this feature.

5 Agenda > Overview What is Release Management? CA Release Management Types of Releases Web Console Release Management Architecture > Setup and Configuration > Using Release Management > CA Workflow and Sub Activities > Q & A

6 What Is Release Management? > To design and implement efficient procedures for installation and distribution of changes to IT systems. > To communicate and manage expectations of the customer during the planning and rollout phases. > The focus is the protection of live environment and its services through use of formal procedure and checks.

7 CA Release Management > Partially implements ITIL Release Management. > Optionally - Update Service Desk activity to integrate with CA Service Desk Manager. > Predefined Process Definition in CA Workflow. > Four types of Releases available: Major"," Minor, Emergency, Custom. > Optional - Release Backout phase.

8 Types of Releases > Major Release: Incorporates Release Validation and Release Approval phase. Release initially deployed on Test environment before the Production Environment. > Minor Release: Has only the Release Approval phase before deploying onto the Production Environment. > Emergency Release: Used to deploy Release without Release Approval. > Custom Release: Templates with customized parameters created and used here.

9 Release Management Flow CA Workflow Minor Release Select Release from the Definitive Software Package Catalog Release Type Major Release Release Management Deploy Release on Test Environment. Release Sign Off Accepted Accepted Release Validation Rejected Rejected Release Notification. Deploy Release on Production Environment.
