HPE Enterprise Maps Lifecycle Processes

HPE Software, Cloud and Automation

Lifecycle Processes Overview •

Artifacts have several lifecycle stage, such as Development, Production, Retired



Each stage has own specific features and each organization has different detail requirements for these different stages



Lifecycle process defines stages and controls transition between lifecycle stages



Lifecycle Processes are usually assigned automatically to the artifacts, defined and published by administrator



A Lifecycle Process can also be copied and modified so as to maintain certain values rather than having to be constructed from the beginning



Once a lifecycle process is assigned to artifacts, any modification of the state transition graph is not permitted

Lifecycle Processes Collection •

Most lifecycle processes come with demo data, they can be exported and reused in POC environments without the demo data



Lifecycle process is created from scratch or cloned from existing, then defined, then published so it can be used and then it can be deprecated and possibly replaced by a new definition of the lifecycle process



Lifecycle processes can be exported to repository archive (federation use case)

Lifecycle Processes Lifecycle Properties •

A goal lifecycle stage is assigned, so we know what is the default target stage of artifact when doing transition/target architecture states (plateaus)



Lifecycle is defined per artifact type – Root Artifact Type



Sub-Artifact types can be defined to include connected artifacts to the same lifecycle process. Use with caution since a single artifact can be assigned to at most one lifecycle process •



Relationships that connect sub-artifacts can be defined

Lifecycle process is associated with the artifact either manually or automatically. •

Artifact domain can be specified

Lifecycle Processes Lifecycle Stages and Transitions •

Defined in the UI, manipulated in the diagram with actions that appear on hover



Transitions between lifecycle stages are created



Automatic after approval



Manually after approval



Anytime



States and transitions are not required to be linear



Can be tree or even cyclic graph

Lifecycle Processes Stage Definition •

Task



Request specific users/roles to do something



Can be verified by a technical policy, so they are validated when finished



Policies



Validation checks for artifacts at that lifecycle stage



Validated daily at night



Approvers



Users/Roles/Groups/Contacts can be configured to vote to approve the stage



Automatic Actions



Actions to execute on stage change



Send notification e-mails, Remove Comments …

Lifecycle Processes Permission •

Artifact access control rights are set when entering stage



Who can read/edit



Who is becomes the owner of the artifact



Whether the artifact is shared between domains

Lifecycle Processes Collection tables •

Extra Columns



Lifecycle Stage



Lifecycle Status



Pending Tasks



Lifecycle Compliance

Lifecycle Processes Artifact View - Lifecycle Tab •

Show previous, current and future states



Let the approvers approve



Shows the results of policy validation checks



Let users finish tasks



Let artifact owner request approval of the stage



Let the user move to the next stage



Let administrator change stage



Shows history of the artifact aligned to lifecycle changes



Shows lifecycle compliance
