This chapter introduces the functions performed by a promotions administrator in these areas. The last section discusses security issues and describes how you can be enabled to perform promotion administration tasks.
Most of these considerations are addressed during the initial setup of your promotion system and can be changed later to improve system performance. Depending on the parameter being changed, some restrictions apply.
A TIBCO Object Service Broker user with borrower’s rights can initiate a promotion by preparing and submitting a change request. When submitted, the status of the change request changes to (P) pending. This status change marks its turnover from an application developer to a promotions administrator.
As promotions administrator, you are provided with all the promotion administration functions required for managing a change request from the time that it takes on the pending status. These functions deal with the control and tracking of changes made to application systems based on TIBCO Object Service Broker.
The Promotion system provides facilities for managing changes in one or more TIBCO Object Service Broker systems. A change request can be promoted in the system where it was created, the source system, and in a number of other external target systems.
