Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Lorenzo Amorosa May, 2017

New options in managing workload applications: Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements New options in managing workload applications: During the import process, automatically modify the mapping file according to the rules defined using regular expressions Optionally rename a workload application during the import process Job condition met: Rerun successful jobs until the specified output condition is met

Using regular expressions to modify the mapping file Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Using regular expressions to modify the mapping file The mapping file produced by the export process of a workload application contains a list of elements, some of which are dependent on the topology of the environment in which it is used. These elements need to be customized to match the target environment. When the import process is performed from the wappman command line, you can optionally request that the mapping file is automatically modified according to rules defined using regular expressions.

Using regular expressions to modify the mapping file Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Using regular expressions to modify the mapping file The rules can be specified in one of the following ad-hoc files: workload applicationname_BasicRegExpMapping.UTF8.rules This file contains rules defined using basic regular expressions that include only '*' and '?' wildcard characters. workload applicationname_AdvancedRegExpMapping.UTF8.rules This file contains rules defined using advanced regular expressions according to Java standards. These files are produced by the export process and, if used, must be properly customized.

Using regular expressions to modify the mapping file Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Using regular expressions to modify the mapping file [JOBSTREAM] *_DEV=*_PRD According to the above rule the job stream CCB_DEV is renamed as CCB_PRD wappman -import <definition_xml_file> <mapping_properties_file> -translationRules <translation_rules_file>

Rename a workload application during the import process Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Rename a workload application during the import process During the import process (both from the DWC and wappman) you can optionally use a new workload application name. -workloadApplicationName The name of the workload application, in case you want to import it with a new name. wappman -import <definition_xml_file> <mapping_properties_file> -workloadApplicationName <newWAName>

Rename a workload application during the import process Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Rename a workload application during the import process

Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Job Condition met Use this section to specify the output condition to be monitored. The job is rerun until the specified condition is met or the job's deadline expires. You can specify the following properties of a job inside a job stream: Output condition value Specify the value of the condition to be monitored. For example, if you are monitoring a job which extracts data from a database and want the related job stream to start when the number of rows in the database is greater than zero, then type the following string: ${this.NumberOfRows} > 0 Interval (ss) A period of time in seconds between two consecutive checks on the condition.

Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Job Condition met SCHEDULE S_AGT#JS_JOB_COND_MET : S_AGT#JOB_COND_MET OUTCOND "RC=60" INTERVAL 20 END

Release management and condition-based workload automation enhancements Job Condition met The job is rerun until the condition is satisfied (RC=60)

Workload Automation plug-in for IBM UrbanCode Deploy Maria Elena Massino

The context Rob, an application developer, has developed a web application that includes a Workload Automation job stream that is subbmited at the user’s request. The application is already in production, but now he needs to modify it. The change involves also the Workload Automation job stream definition. The source code for the application and the job stream definition are stored in Eclipse that is configured to check in to Rational Team Concert (RTC), his software development tool. Rob uses IBM UrbanCode Deploy to automate the deployment process into production.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy definitions

IBM UrbanCode Deploy - Component Rob has a UCD component that extracts new versions of a Workload Automation job stream definition from Rational Team Concert

IBM UrbanCode Deploy – The Component process Rob’s deploy process uses the Workload Automation for UCD plug-in to deploy new versions of the Workload Automation job stream definition into the Workload Automation distributed production environment of his company.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy – The Application Environment In the production environment, Rob has defined the environment properties to map Workload Automation objects in the test environment to Workload Automation objects in the production environment (1). He also uses a regular expression to modify the job stream name (2). 2 1

The scenario

The scenario – Download the new job stream definition Rob makes the necessary changes in the job stream definition from the Workload Designer opened in the test environment and tests the new definition by submitting it into the current plan. Then he extracts the job stream definition using the new action «Download Job Stream Definition»

The scenario – Check in the job stream definition into RTC Rob copies the zip file to Rational Team Concert and makes changes to his application. He then delivers all the changes on the server.

The scenario – Import the new version of job stream definition into uDeploy Rob imports the new version of the application into IBM UrbanCode Deploy. Version 2.0 is created containing the new zip file.

The scenario – Deploy the application into the production environment (1/4) Rob starts the deploy process for the production environment on IBM UrbanCode Deploy

The scenario – Deploy the application into the production environment (2/4)

The scenario – Deploy the application into the production environment (3/4)

The scenario – Deploy the application into the production environment (4/4)

The scenario – The deployed application The application has been deployed into the production environment. Objects have been correctly mapped. The regular expression for the name has been applied.

DevOps Export and Import Application Definitions on z/OS

DevOps - Export and Import application definitions overview Applications can be exported and imported so that they can be shared with other IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS environments. In the new environment, the application can be subsequently updated, replaced, or deleted. To promote an application from one environment to another, you can use either the ISPF panels or the Dynamic Workload Console V9.4, Fix Pack 1. Next slides describe the ISPF panel flow to Export and Import application definitions. 54

DevOps Export/Import (1) The EXPORT/IMPORT feature can be invoked directly by the LIST OF APPLICATIONS PANEL (EQQALSTL) using the new X - DevOps command: 55

DevOps Export/Import(2) Or by a new option in the panel MAINTAINING APPLICATION DESCRIPTIONS (EQQASUBP):

EXPORT (1) Identify the application to export from one environment to another:

EXPORT (2) A JCL is automatically generated to submit a WAPL exec that exports the definitions of our application and of all the objects that it uses (Calendars, workstations, special resources...) The object definitions are WAPL statements that are stored in a dataset

EXPORT (3) An example of exported statements in WAPL format:

IMPORT (1) Before importing application definitions you can set up «Translate» rules in the TRANSLATE DATASET:

IMPORT (2) A JCL is automatically generated to submit a WAPL exec that imports the definitions of our application and of all the objects that it uses (Calendars, workstations, special resources...):

IMPORT (3) The application has been imported based on the «Translate» rules previously set up:
