# Scenario 3: Deploy requests to multiple deployment areas

This scenario demonstrates how to deploy Dimensions CM requests to modify the Qlarius web application.

This scenario is similar to Scenario 2: Deploy requests to a single deployment area. The main difference is that multiple requests are deployed in a specific sequence to multiple deployment areas.

Note: To run this scenario, first set up the environment, as described in Prerequisites.

In this topic:

## Scenario overview

- The release manager raises an enhancement request.

- The development team lead primes two child tasks from the request and delegates them to separate developers.

- The developers modify items, deliver the modifications and relate them to the tasks, build the tasks, and capture the build outputs in Dimensions CM.

- The team lead promotes and deploys the request and tasks in a specific sequence to the SIT stage and deployment areas, and then promotes them to the QA stage.

- The QA manager deploys the request and tasks to the QA deployment areas in the same sequence and then promotes them to the PRE-PROD stage.

- The release manager deploys the request and tasks to the PRE-PROD deployment areas in the same sequence, and then promotes and deploys them to the LIVE stage and production environments.

## Scenario information

The following stream is used: QLARIUS:JAVA_BRANCHA_STR

- There is a separation of duties between the employees at the following stage transitions:

  - SIT to QA

  - QA to PRE-PROD

- A build is only required at the DEV stage.

- Deployment is to multiple areas at each stage. The following deployment areas are used:

  Stage | Deployment area | Deploy by Default enabled on area? | Server type | Location
  --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
  DEV | LCL_DEV_JBRNCHA_AREA01 | Yes | RDBMS | London
  LCL_DEV_JBRNCHA_AREA03 | Yes | Web application | London
  SIT | LCL_SIT_JBRNCHA_AREA01 | Yes | RDBMS | London
  LCL_SIT_JBRNCHA_AREA03 | Yes | Web application | London
  QA | LCL_QA_JBRNCHA_AREA01 | No | RDBMS | London
  LCL_QA_JBRNCHA_AREA03 | No | Web application | London
  PRE‑PROD | LCL_PP_JBRNCHA_AREA01 | No | RDBMS | London
  LCL_PP_JBRNCHA_AREA03 | No | Web application | London
  LIVE | LCL_LIVE_JBRNCHA_AREA01 | No | RDBMS | London
  LCL_LIVE_JBRNCHA_AREA03 | No | Web application | London
  LCL_LIVE_JBRNCHA_AREA04 | No | RDBMS | New York
  LCL_LIVE_JBRNCHA_AREA05 | No | Web application | New York

The deployment sequence to these areas is important as the database schema must be updated before the web application code that uses it:

- During deployment to the RDBMS areas post deployment scripts run to remotely shutdown the application servers and execute the SQL script that has been deployed to update the database schema. The update to the database is more likely to go wrong and is harder to fix than the file movement. Therefore the database is updated first so that if anything goes wrong there is less work to restore.

- After deployment to the RDBMS server has been completed successfully, deployment continues to the web application server area. The scripts in the web application server area then re-start the servers.

- Only content relevant to the specific areas is deployed, for example, the Linux RDBMS server area receives the SQL script files and the Linux web application server area receives the Jar files.

For a list of the promotion and deployment privileges required by the users, see Scenario privileges.

Review the summary of the deployment activity and command, and click Finish. Select the History tab. In the content pane, verify that the request and child tasks were successfully deployed to the QA area LCL_QA_JBRNCHA_AREA01. Repeat the steps for the QA web application server area: LCL_QA_JBRNCHA_AREA03.
The QA team performs their tests.
The QA manager actions the request to its final lifecycle state. | QA testing has been completed successfully, so Tao closes the enhancement request. On the History tab, select the request, and on the toolbar click Action. The Action wizard opens. Check that the To Next State field is set to CLOSED. Click Finish and then OK. Note: The request is removed from Tao’s request inbox.
The QA manager promotes the request and tasks to the PRE-PROD stage. | Tao promotes the request and tasks to the PRE-PROD stage. Deploy by Default is not enabled, so the request and tasks cannot be automatically deployed to the PRE-PROD deployment area. On the History tab, select the request, and on the toolbar click Promote. The Promote wizard opens. Check that the Promote Child Requests option is selected. In the Next stage field, check that PRE-PROD is selected. Click Next. Because Deploy by Default is not enabled, no deploy options are available. Click Next. Review the summary of the promotion activity and command, and click Finish. Dimensions CM sends an email to the release manager, Rita, notifying her that a promotion has been performed. In the navigation pane, select the PRE-PROD stage node. In the content pane, verify that the request was promoted successfully from QA to PRE-PROD. Log out of the web client.
The release manager deploys the request and tasks to the PRE- PROD deployment areas. | Rita, the release manager, reads the email and checks the Pending tab for the PRE- PROD stage on the Deployment view. Rita sees that the request and tasks are ready to be deployed to PRE-PROD. The deployment sequence is the same as in the previous stages. A build is not required at the PRE-PROD stage, so the release manager uses an area filter to only deploy the items that are required at PRE-PROD (the executables). Log in to the web client as Rita. Select the Deployment view and check that only the current stream is displayed. Select the Pending tab, in the navigation pane expand the PRE-PROD stage node, and select the LCL_PP_JBRNCHA_AREA01 deployment area (the RDBMS server). In the content pane, from the Show list, select Requests. Select the request, and on the toolbar click Deploy. The Deploy wizard opens. Check that the Deploy Child Requests option is selected.

Review the summary of the deployment activity and command, and click Finish. Select the History tab. In the content pane, verify that the request and child tasks were successfully deployed to the PRE-PROD LCL_PP_JBRNCHA_AREA01 deployment area. Repeat steps 3 to 14 for the PRE-PROD web application server area: LCL_PP_JBRNCHA_AREA03.
The release team performs their tests.
The release manager promotes the request and tasks to the LIVE stage. | Testing has been completed so Rita promotes the request and tasks to the LIVE stage. Deploy by Default is not enabled for the LIVE deployment area. On the History tab, select the request, and on the toolbar click Promote. The Promote wizard opens. Check that the Promote Child Requests option is selected. In the Next stage field, check that LIVE is selected. Click Next. Rita has the privilege to deploy at the same time as the promotion but chooses not to. Do not select any deployment areas. Click Next. Review the summary of the promotion activity and command, and click Finish. In the navigation pane, select the LIVE stage node. In the content pane, verify that the request was promoted successfully from PRE- PROD to LIVE.
The request and tasks are now ready to be deployed to the company’s live production environments in London and New York. Deployment normally takes place during the regular maintenance period when the areas are offline. Rita does the following: Schedules the deployment to the New York production environment at midnight local time. Manually deploys to the London production environment at midnight local time. London is ahead of New York so if there is a problem with the deployment she has time to fix it. Note: Rita deploys to the LIVE deployment areas in the same sequence as in the previous stages.
The release manager schedules a deployment to the live production environment in New York. | Rita schedules the deployment of the request and tasks to the live production environment in New York at midnight local time. In the navigation pane, expand the LIVE stage node and select the RDBMS deployment area in New York: LCL_LIVE_JBRNCHA_AREA04. On the Pending tab, select the request, and on the toolbar click Deploy.

On the Pending tab, select the request, and on the toolbar click Deploy. The Deploy wizard opens. Check that the option Deploy Child Requests is selected. Check that the Deploy stage is set to LIVE. Click Next. To deploy the request and child task immediately, check that the Perform Deployments option is set to As Soon As Possible. In the Areas for Deployment field, check that the LCL_LIVE_JBRNCHA_AREA03 deployment area is selected. Click Next. Review the summary of the deployment activity and command, including the date and time, and click Finish.
The release manager verifies that deployment to the web application area was successful. | Rita verifies that deployment operation was successful and that the jar file was deployed to the LIVE RDBMS deployment area in London. Select the History tab. In the content pane, verify that the request and tasks were successfully deployed to the LIVE area. To browse the LIVE deployment area, in the My Current Project view expand Deployment Areas > LIVE Stage > LCL_LIVE_JBRNCHA_AREA03. Select the folder Qlarius Underwriter. In the content pane, verify that the latest revision of AutoQuote.jar was deployed.
Rita emails the New York office to advise them that a deployment has been scheduled for midnight local time and that the deployment in London was successful. Rita goes to sleep and in the morning verifies that the deployment to the production environment in New York was successful. The enhancement to the Qlarius web application is now live across all production environments.
