Chapter 5 Remote Promotions : Remote Promotions Overview

Remote Promotions Overview
You use remote promotion administration to promote change requests in an external target system or across multiple target systems, without the use of extracted files. Promotions can be done from any node to any node.
In this context, the Promotion system moves change request information directly and instantaneously between source and target systems. Instead of an interface that uses external files, data transfer between systems is via the TIBCO Object Service Broker distributed data facility. This facility is a prerequisite to the remote promotion administration function set.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Procedural Overview
Remote promotions involve:
Promotion Administration and Distributed Data
When promoting across several TIBCO Object Service Broker systems, you can use either target administration or remote administration to promote to the required locations.
The differences between the two types of administration are:
 
Source and Target Promotion Administration
Remote Promotion Administration
You must transfer the extract file manually
All necessary data is automatically transferred via the TIBCO Object Service Broker distributed data facility.
Order of Promotion
You can promote in any order, although it is advantageous to promote on the source system last to ensure that borrowing rights are held throughout the promotion. For more information about borrowing rights, refer to Chapter 9, Promotion Rights
You must perform the last promotion on the TIBCO Object Service Broker system where the promotion was submitted (that is, the source system).
You must log in at the node where the promotion is to occur.
You can administer promotions from either the source node or the target node.
Location Parameter
You can promote table data across multiple systems without a location parameter.
If you are promoting data, the table definition must include a location parameter.
You can include a rule to execute as part of a target promotion.
You cannot specify rules to execute as part of a remote promotion.
