Comparaison des fonctionnalités
< 12.1
12.1
Deploy performs stage change for
requested item, request, or baseline.
New Promote and Demote commands
for changing stage of item, request or
baseline for improved control and
flexibility.
Deploy performs deploy or rollback
based on specified stage.
New Deploy and Rollback commands
for greater area control and flexibility.
Unable to rollback changes to area
without stage change.
Rollback command provided for
greater area control and flexibility.
Files automatically deployed with
stage change.
Automatic (default) file deployment is
optional and based on project/area
relationship so each area can be
different.

Comparaison des fonctionnalités (suite)
< 12.1
12.1
Deployment operations are
synchronous in the client session.
Deployment operations are
asynchronous in the client session to
improve performance.
Deployment operations are
asynchronous with each other.
Deployment operations are
synchronous by area to improve area
integrity.
Builds can execute at the same time
as a deployment.
Builds execute synchronously with
deployment tasks to improve build
integrity.
Deployment area history and content
difficult to determine.
Deployment View in Web Client
designed with the
Deployment/Release Manager in mind.
Active-revision (highest revision at
stage is always in area)
Revision(s) in area are exactly what
the user requests.

Séparation des Stages & Areas - Areas
• Rules
• To be in an Area an object has to be at that Areas Stage or higher
• User has to have authority on the area in the Project/Stream to use the Area
directly
• Deploy Item(s), Request(s) or Baseline(s)
• Distributes objects to one or more Area(s)
• Objects have to be at the Areas Stage or higher
• The item(s) will overwrite what is there already
• Rollback
• Removes objects from one or more Area(s)
• Previous item revisions will be distributed to the Area
• Rollback entire transaction (area version)
• Deploy & Rollback available via
• New Deployment View
• Promote or Demote
Séparation des Stages & Areas - Stages
• Rules
• User has to have authority on the Stage in the Project/Stream to use the Stage
directly
• Promote Item(s), Request(s) or Baseline(s)
• Changes Stage of object up the Stage Lifecycle
• Dialogue allows user to select area(s) for deployment
• Promote can cross multiple Stages, no deployment at intermediate Stages
• Demote Item(s), Request(s) or Baseline(s)
• Changes Stage of object down the Stage Lifecycle
• Dialogue allows user to select area(s) for deployment at the demoted to Stage
• Demote can cross multiple Stages, mandatory rollback of all Areas
• Demoted objects can not be left in any Areas
• Area Definition
• Deploy by default
• Deploy sequence
Others
• Deploy By Default
• Areas selected for deployment automatically
• May only be deselected if user has authority on the Area in that
Project/Stream
• Will be deployed to if the user has no area authority
• Area sequence number
• Any numbers will be deployed in sequence
• Default zero deployed last in parallel
• No Move on Deploy
• CM cannot understand area groups and path to production
• CLEAN command which object option
Mise à jour des versions antérieures
• Read the installation guide for the platform.
• Before the upgrade, perform an AUDIT to ensure integrity of deployment
areas. Remember: only controlled content is reported.
• After upgrade, you cannot deploy to an existing area until the manual
upgrade utility has been executed.
• The new audit trail will not contain all the history of previous deployments.
• The new audit trail will only consist of the initial area version which contains
all of the items currently deployed to the area.
• zOS areas require a 12.1 zOS agent in order for the migration to complete
successfully. Older zOS agents do not support the upgrade process.
• Rollback of item(s), request(s), baselines(s) deployed prior to the upgrade is
not supported. Use deployment of new revisions instead.
29
SERENA SOFTWARE INC.
Deployment View
• New tab in Web Client for managing deployment areas.
• Designed to be used by Deployment and Release Mgrs.
• Displays Pending items, requests, and baselines per stage or area.
• Displays Queued deployment related tasks per stage or area.
• Displays deployment related task history per stage or area.
• Allows execution of action, promote, demote, deploy, rollback, build, and
audit operations against selected artifacts.
30
SERENA SOFTWARE INC.
Nouvelles propriétés pour les projets
• Deployment model (manual and automatic) has been renamed to “Use local
stages”
• Automatic deployment (action driven promotion) is now “Use local stages” =
OFF.
• Manual deployment is now “Use local stages” = ON.
31
SERENA SOFTWARE INC.
Déploiement de “Régression”
• Regressions are allowed by default.
• To disable regression checks, set the following variable in dm.cfg:
DM_NO_DEPLOYMENT_REGRESSION
FALSE
• When regression checking is disabled, what you ask for is what you get.
• Be careful with default areas in this environment.
32
SERENA SOFTWARE INC.
Ordonnancement
• Scheduled deployment operations appear in the queue for an area until the
execution time is reached.
• Promote, demote, deploy, and rollback all support scheduling of area
operations.
• Scheduled builds will not display in area queue in this release.
33
SERENA SOFTWARE INC.
Build
• Deployment builds participate in area queue like other deployment jobs.
• Deployment and work area builds have the ability to “lock” the search path
from changes while the build executes.
• Output collection for projects and streams are atomic.
• Output collection in deployment areas will create a new area version.
• Build/Impacted targets calculation is based on deployment area contents –
not just the project.
• Build/Impacted targets rewritten for performance.
• Build targets optional on BLD command – will be added by server
automatically at build execution time.
34
SERENA SOFTWARE INC.
Promotion exécutée sur commande “Action”
• Implemented as a Dimensions event trigger based on the post-event for
items, requests, and/or baselines.
• As a post-event, the action will succeed even if the promote/demote fails – it
will not be atomic.
• Mappings between lifecycle states and GSL stages supported in Admin
console.

Dashboards –
première impression
48
SERENA SOFTWARE INC.
Dashboards –
Quelle technologie ?
• In this release, the dashboard is a client report that has been set as
your “Home view” in the Web Client
• Additionally, a new class of client report: the “multi-view report”
has been added (in the Web Client only) and will work well as a
“Home view” report
• Basically a mosaic of other client reports laid out in a grid
• The “Home view” (or personal dashboard) can be changed in the
User Preferences dialog, but also when creating or editing a client
report (just a Set as Home view checkbox in the report dialog)
• The “Home view” (or personal dashboard) can be quickly accessed
at any time by pressing the Home link in the Web Client toolbar
• To make this work well (for example, a multi-view report that
shows request and item sub-reports), client reports are now in a
separate tab in the Web Client
