  1. Enterprise Management System Andreas Dieckow Principal Product Manager Symposium 2011

  2. Challenges • Today every Instance is configured individual • No structural view • Certain changes require re-starts • User Management is Instance specific • Unless 3rd party components are used • No history of configuration changes • The Enterprise Management System is designed to solve these challenges

  3. Agenda • Introduction • Detailed look at functional components • Demo • Q&A

  4. The Enterprise

  5. The Enterprise

  6. Introduction • The Enterprise Management System (EMS) is a standalone application • Designed to manage all registered Instances of Caché and Ensemble • Provides centralized form to change configurations, and security settings, and to perform user management • Configuration security • Build-in version control, with diff and compare capabilities

  7. Standalone Application • Client connectivity components starting with 2011.1 • Enterprise Management System • Standalone installation • Locked down • Pre-configured • Build-in SMP functionality designed for EMS needs • Allows to act as a License Server

  8. Managing the Enterprise • Instances register with the EMS • Instances are grouped • Assigning an Instance to a Group completes the registration process • EMS managed components are not accessible on the Instance • Instances always see resolved Configuration changes • Instances may disconnect from the EMS

  9. EMS - Groups • Controls the managed components • Configuration • Security • Changes to the configuration are performed using a special version of the SMP • Editing and Activation are distinct operations • Configuration Security • Edit Users, Activate Users • Access control on the Group level

  10. EMS Groups • Groups can be initialized by • The configuration of an Instance • Coping from a different from Group • Instances can be moved between Groups • All Instances in a Group have the same configuration • Unless the values are Instance specific • Pathnames • Port numbers • ….

  11. Edit and Activate • Configuration changes are pending until activated • All changes are versioned on activation • Previous versions can be compared to examine differences • Can also be compared to the current pending changes • Previous versions can be activated • Editing and Activation configurations are audited

  12. Synchronized Activation • Some changes require synchronized activation • E.g. Namespace mapping • SSL configurations between Instances • Mirroring • Multi-step process • Preparation • Activation • After some steps synchronization with the EMS • Very short system freeze across Instances for Activation

  13. Group and Instance Attributes • Provides current state • On Group level • On Instance level

  14. Group Attributes

  15. Instance Attributes

  16. Tags • System Tags • Derived from the Instance • Product Type, Version, OS • Derived from specific product usage • E.g. Mirroring • User Tags • Tags can have multiple values • E.g. City Tag could be defined to include • Boston, Orlando, Dallas, Sydney, Tokyo, Frankfurt

  17. Tags • Tag view • Tags can be selected for a hierarchy level to provide a structured view • Groups are at the bottom of the view, and can be selected for details or modifications

  18. Security Configurations • User Management • Security settings • Resources, Roles, System settings, …. • Changes are activated immediately • Users are known with all Roles throughout the Enterprise • Roles contents is specific to the Instances within a Group

  19. Technology • Browser based application • Web Services communications • WS-Policy • Various levels of securing communications • Certificate based • Mirrored configuration • On the horizon for 2012.1: • PKI with certificate generation and distribution

  20. Demo • User Interface • Registration • Tags • Configuration Changes • Compare • Auditing • Users with Edit and Activate capabilities
