Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for intelligent deployment(s) of application objects are provided. The systems, apparatus and methods may include one or more dynamic parameters retrieved from metadata table(s). The parameter(s) may be used to calibrate the deployment(s). The parameter(s) may be associated with previous failed deployment(s). Calibration may be automatic. Calibration may include email sending and/or email previewing components. A testing environment may be used prior to actual deployment.
Claims24
An application deployment engine for calibrating deployment of a cloud-based application object, the engine comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a machine-readable memory including machine-executable instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, instructing the processor to:
- receive authentication information of a user;
- perform an authentication of the user based on the received authentication information;
- upon the authentication, receive a selection by the user to perform an application object transferal, the selection comprising:
- the application object selected for inclusion in the transferal;
- a selected source environment of the object;
- and
- a selected entity unit receiving the transferal;
- retrieve at least one previously stored dynamic parameter from a metadata table;
- using an intelligent algorithm, perform a determination of a quality of the application object deployment, the intelligent algorithm being based on:
- a detected status of the application object, the application object status including one of:
- a draft state;
- a deleted state;
- a stopped state;
- and
- a published state;
- a detected readiness value of a target environment associated with the selected entity unit;
- a detected readiness value of a preview component of the application object;
- a detected readiness value of components associated with electronic transmission of the application object;
- and
- the dynamic parameter;
- attempt deploying of the application object;
- upon a failure of the deploying, determine at least one parameter associated with the failure;
- and
- insert the at least one parameter into the metadata table for use in calibrating later deployment attempts.
A method for deploying at least one cloud-based application object, the method comprising:
- authenticating a user;
- selecting the application object for transferal;
- selecting a source environment of the object;
- selecting a destination environment for receiving the transferal;
- retrieving at least one dynamic parameter from a metadata table, the at least one dynamic parameter associated, in the metadata table, with a success value of at least one previous deployment attempt;
- performing a determination of a level of readiness of components associated with the object, the determination depending on:
- a detected status of at least one of the components, the status including one of:
- a draft state;
- a deleted state;
- a published state;
- and
- a stopped state;
- an evaluation of a readiness value of the destination environment;
- a detected readiness value of a preview component of the object;
- a determined functionality value of an electronic transmission of the object;
- and
- the at least one dynamic parameter in association with the success value;
- upon the determination indicating a first level of readiness of the components:
- recalibrating one or more settings affecting the readiness;
- and
- recalculating the determination based on the recalibrated settings;
- upon the determination indicating a second level of readiness of the components, the second level indicating a determined readiness greater than the determined readiness indicated by the first level, attempting deployment of the application object;
- determining a success level of the deployment;
- and
- adjusting the success value of the at least one dynamic parameter, in the metadata table, to include the determined success level of the deployment.
An application deployment system for performing a deployment of at least one cloud-based application, the application including a plurality of components, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a machine-readable memory including machine-executable instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, instructing the processor to:
- evaluate a readiness of a target environment for receiving the deployment;
- prior to the deployment, perform an assignment of a deployment-quality score to the deployment, the score based on four determinations, each of the four determinations associated with a weight contributing 25% toward a total of the score, the determinations including:
- a determined status of the components, the status including one of:
- a draft state;
- a deleted state;
- a stopped state;
- and
- a published state;
- a determined readiness of an electronic transmission preview function included in the components;
- a determined functionality of an electronic transmission send function included in the components;
- and
- a determined readiness of at least one dynamic component associated with at least one previously stored dynamic parameter;
- attempt the deployment;
- and
- upon a detected failure of the deployment, add the total score and at least one dynamic parameter associated with the failure to a metadata table.
An enterprise application deployment engine for performing a deployment of at least one cloud-based application to at least one target environment, the application including a plurality of components, the engine comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a machine-readable memory including machine-executable instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, instructing the processor to:
- prior to the deployment, perform an assignment of a deployment-quality score to the deployment, the score based on a plurality of determinations including:
- a determined status of the application, the status including one of:
- a draft state;
- a deleted state;
- a stopped state;
- and
- a published state;
- a determined readiness of an electronic transmission preview component;
- a determined functionality of an electronic transmission send component;
- and
- a determined readiness of at least one dynamic component including at least one dynamic parameter;
- evaluate a readiness of the target environment for receiving the deployment;
- and
- upon a detected failure of the deployment, add the total score and at least one dynamic parameter associated with the failure to a metadata table.
