Chapter 8 Overview of the Developer’s Role : The Developer’s Perspective

The Developer’s Perspective
As an application developer, you can use the Promotion system to do the following:
Obtain promotion rights on an object to ensure that no one else can promote changes affecting that object while you are working on it
What is a Change Request?
A change request lists the objects intended for promotion. In the case of data tables, the change request can also include actual data in addition to table definitions.
Developer’s Responsibilities
The developer is responsible for the following:
Administration Requirements
You must be defined as a borrower in your User Profile to manage and submit change requests. If this is not done, you cannot obtain rights to an object if they are available and, therefore, you cannot submit change requests for promotion. Only your system administrator or a security administrator with appropriate authorization can define you as a borrower.
You must also have security access or belong to a group that has security permissions for the objects you want to modify. For more information on security permissions, refer to Security Permissions Required.
Effects of Promoting a Change Request
When a change request is promoted, the following actions occur:
Object definitions and any table data in the change request are applied to the receiving TIBCO Object Service Broker system. Rules usually go into the installation library.
The receiving system for a promotion could be the system where the change request originated or another TIBCO Object Service Broker system, regardless of the operating environment.
Optionally, a rule to execute that is part of the change request is automatically executed by the Promotion system. After execution, the rule is deleted.
