Default authorized CI space definitions
Two default best-practice authorized CI space definitions are included with the Deployer's Workbench.
These best-practice authorized CI space definitions were developed through extensive review of the authorized CI spaces created by several customers and IBM services teams. You can very quickly deploy them as they are into a development environment and use them in promotions to see the resulting sets of authorized CIs that are created. You can use either definition as the starting point of a project and add, delete, or modify elements to make it suit your exact needs. Be sure to delete CI types and attributes that you do not use in your business processes to avoid having extraneous data in your authorized CI space.
The two
best-practice authorized CI space definitions are delivered as library
objects, either of which can be imported into a Deployer's Workbench project.
They include the same set of authorized CI classifications; the comprehensive
definition includes broader promotion scopes. They are:
- Simple Best Practice
- This CI space contains a limited set of promotion scopes, with which many deployments begin in their first deployment phase. It is designed for the deployer who wants to start with a small set of managed CI types and expand the list over time. It includes Computer Systems, Application Servers, Business Applications and Business Services, as well as a small set of attributes and relationship rules. Relationship rules have been modified to ensure that all CIs can be promoted successfully from the Computer System, Business Application, and Business Service classifications.
- Comprehensive Best Practice
- This CI space includes a large set of promotion scopes, in an attempt to include everything that is commonly used in change management and other processes. It is designed for the deployer who wants to begin with a broad set of managed CI types. It includes a large set of attributes and relationship rules, though not all that are defined in the Data Model, to ensure that it can be used by most businesses. The promotion scope includes all CI classifications included in this CI Space. Relationship rules have been modified to ensure that all CIs can be promoted successfully from the Computer System, Business Application, and Business Service classifications.
