Chapter 2 Preparing For Promotions : System Requirements

System Requirements
To ensure the optimum functionality for your Promotions system, you must address the following:
Keep these considerations in mind each time you apply a promotion. To accommodate a particular situation, you could need to change some of these parameters.
Establishing Promotion Environment Default Parameters
You must establish certain environment parameters for your Promotion system before you can apply a promotion. These include:
Values for these parameters are set in the @PROM_CONSTANTS table. For more information on this table, refer to @PROM_CONSTANTS Table.
Addressing Backup Considerations
The Promotion system uses a different set of files to hold, as backup copies, the original definitions and data of objects that are included in a change request. The naming conventions for these backup files are contained in the @PROM_BACKUPDS table. For more information on this table, refer to @PROM_BACKUPDS Table.
Setting External Access Permissions
Target or remote promotions can result in new objects being created on the receiving system. You must pre-set default access permissions for these new objects to address potential security concerns. If these permissions are not pre-set, invalid default values can be inherited from the receiving system.
Default values are set in the @PROM_NSEC_DEF table. For more information on this table, refer to @PROM_NSEC_DEF Table.
Establishing Change Request Categories
When submitting a change request, developers must indicate the type of change request by assigning it a category, for example, enhancement or product defect. The TIBCO Object Service Broker system provides several pre-set category values in the CHG_CATEGORIES table. You can add to and modify this list at any time to suit your environment.
