RPMRPDExt

Resource automation and automation script extension for RPM and RPD integration. This extension provide automation to create and delete topology component.

Install

On your BRPM installation in directory /WEB-INF/lib/script_support, save/rename script_helper.rb and rlm_utilities.rb. Copy script_helper.rb and rlm_utilities.rb to /WEB-INF/lib/script_support Files in automation directories need to be copied on BRPM server to: /WEB-INF/lib/script_support/LIBRARY/automation/RLM Deployment Engine Files resource_automation need to be copied on BRPM server to: /WEB-INF/lib/script_support/LIBRARY/resource_automation/RLM Deployment Engine

Then you may need to restart BRPM.

Setup

You need to create an integration server pointing to your BRPD server to point the API (if not already done): Server Name: Server URL: <BRPD API url; example: http://brpd:9090/brlm> Username: password:

You need to import in automation (Environment -> Automation):

1. The resource automation script that you associate with previously defined integration server: rlm_bridges.rb: provide list of bridges rlm_environments.rb: provide list of environments rlm_blueprints.rb: provide list of blueprints also named channel templates rlm_roles.rb: provide list of roles rlm_environment_channels.rb: provide list of channels for a defined environment

2. The automation scripts that you associate with previously defined integration server rlm_create_bridges.rb: create bridge(s) rlm_create_channel.rb: create channel and associate it to an environment rlm_delete_channel.rb: dissociate channel(s) from a specific enviroment and delete it rlm_delete_bridge.rb: delete bridge(s)

Remark

script_helper.rb has been modified to provide a function to substitute rpm{property} by the value of the property. So fo example in field Bridge of rlm_create_bridges automation you can type rpm{servers} to get server list part of component associated with the step.

Improvments

Add more automation to also manage creation and deletion of environment and route.
