IntroductionandBackground

§ AboutStateStreetandCAWAAutoSys:

– Long-establishedCAWAAutoSysShop;deepproductexpertise– XXCAWAAutoSysinstances(version:YY)– ApproximatelyNNNNjobexecutionsperday,acrossalargeestate– ApproximatelyPPPPServiceUsers

WhyMigrate?MigrationOverview

§ NewEnvironment:

– UpgradestoCAWAAutoSysversions– DesiretoremainwithinCASoftware– SwitchfromJAWStoCAWAiDash– DeployCAEEM(postCAWAiDashMigration)


WhyMigrate?MigrationOverview

§ NewCAWAiDashEnvironmentRequirements:– BasedonCAWAiDashR12– ActiveDirectoryforIdentification– CAWAiDashSecurityforAuthorisation(GroupsandFilters)– HighAvailabilityamust-have

§ MaintainasmanyJAWSconfigurationitemsaspossible– Users/Authorisation– SLAs– Reports


TheEasy(ish)Bits

§ Filters:– BasedonCAWAAutoSys - Strongnamingconvention–

“ApplicationCodes”– ApplicationcodeispartofCAWAAutoSys JobName– DataextractfromStateStreetwithAppCodes- ~850Appcodes

§ ConversionTool:– ReadDataExtract– GenerateCAWAiDash FilterDefinitionstoCAWAiDash formatfiles– UploadintoCAWAiDash - 'idupdate'commands


TheEasy(ish)Bits

§ Users:– JAWSExtract(XML)– 750Usersdefined

§ ConversionTool:– ProgrammaticallygenerateCAWAiDashUserdefinitions,mapping

userstoFilters– GenerateCAWAiDashUserDefinitionstoCAWAiDashformat files– UploadintoCAWAiDash- 'idupdate'commands


JAWS§ System-calculated(automatic- default)§ Duration(starttime+userdefinedvalue)§ Fixeddeadline(userdefined)§ Canauto-discoverJobStreams(SLAs)§ (Default)forecastsfutureJobStreamsover

TheChallenges– SLAsAQuickComparison

CAWAiDash§ Doesnotauto-discover§ RequiresSLAtimeparameterperjobrun§ StartTimeDeadline(userdefined)§ EndTimeDeadline(userdefined)§ AtRisk(userdefined)§ RunValidity(userdefined)


TheChallenges– SLAs

§ DefineConvertedCAWAiDashSLAsasfollows:– AllareEndDeadline– AllareDisabled– Wherenouser-defineddeadlinetimeexists,useadummyvalue(e.g.

“23:23”)– NoAtRiskvalues– AllRunValidityvaluesto60– AllALARMS Enabled– DefineforAllWeekDays

MakeSomeAssumptions


TheChallenges– SLAs

§ ConversionTool:– ReadJAWSXMLData,extractSLAdefinitions– SystemCalculated/Duration:Assumption– EndDeadline:Convert– UseCAWAAutoSysJobNameasCAWAiDashSLAName– GenerateCAWAiDashSLADefinitionstoCAWAiDashformatfiles– UploadintoCAWAiDash- 'idupdate'commands


JAWS§ JobRunHistory 426§ TargetJobSummary 17§ ProcessingLoad 16§ TerminationStatus 4§ TargetJobDetail 10§ CriticalPathHistory 2

TheChallenges– ReportsAQuickComparison

CAWAiDash§ JobRun§ JobStatus§ Autotrack§ SLA§ Latency§ ALARM§ CAWAiDashAuditActivity


TheChallenges– Reports

§ ConversionTool:– ReadJAWSXMLData,extractreportdefinitions– MapReporttypeswherepossible:

§ JobRunhistory>JobRuns§ TargetJobSummary/TargetJobDetail>JobRuns/JobStatus§ ProcessingLoad>Latency§ TerminationStatus>JobStatus/ALARM§ CriticalPathHistory>SLA

– GenerateCAWAiDashReportDefinitionstoCAWAiDashformatfiles– UploadintoCAWAiDash- 'idupdate'commands


TheChallenges– PostConversion

§ SubsequentSLAManualActivities:– Add/amenddeadlines– ReviewDays/Calendars– AddAtRiskifrequired– AmendRunValidity– EnableSLAs(carefully!)


TheChallenges– PostConversion

§ SubsequentReportManualActivities:– ReportDefinition/ContentReview– Amend/Delete


TheResults

§ ConversionPhase:– ‘BatchLoad/Update’ofconfigurationitems,usingCAWAiDash

CLITools:§ Filters:850§ Users:750§ SLAs:490§ Reports:450

– EachLoad/Updatetook60-90minutes


LessonsLearned- 1

§ Youmustunderstandthatthetwoproductsarenotthesame.Trainingiscrucial,beforeyoustart

§ Youmustmakeassumptionswhenconvertingconfigurationsacrossproducts

§ GarbageIn,GarbageOut.Cleanupfirst


LessonsLearned- 2

§ TheCAWAiDash CLIrequirescloseattention– Example:whenusingidupdate tocreateanSLA,thereareacoupleof

'instance'parametersinthefilethatmustmatchtheinstanceinthe'-i'parameter

§ Bewarereportdefinitionsspecifyinghugejoblists,oruserdefinitionsspecifyinghundredsoffilters.– ConfigurationdataisstoredinCAWAiDash withinacolumnof

restrictedlength– Wildcardsaregood,CAEEMisbetter....sometimes
