Workflow Automation Solutions  for SCM Administrators      

Coordinate hand-offs between development and SCM using workflow automation.

OpenMake Mojo and Mojo Max facilitates and coordinates the handoff of the build to release process between development teams and central SCM.  Using the workflow capabilities of OpenMake Mojo or Mojo Max, development teams can define the pre and post build tasks that must execute around their build scripts so the SCM team can re-execute the process.

What Workflow Cannot do  

Build Audits 

Creating an audit trail to match source code to executables cannot be done by either workflow solutions or source code management solutions.  The creation of executables is done by the build process itself - the compile and link steps.  Build automation solutions perform the creation and audit of binaries.  For 100% traceability, consider using OpenMake Meister Insight for performing and tracing build audits.

Build Repeatability

Re-creating an executable is not performed by your workflow solution. The workflow calls a build script that creates the executable. In order to create repeatability in the build process itself, a build automation tool is required.  Build automation does not rely on manual build scripts like workflow automation.  Build automation manages, audits and controls the compilers and linkers that create your production executables.

Key Benefits

Coordinated Hand-offs 

OpenMake Mojo and Mojo Max's workflow automation allows development teams to create their application lifecycle process and then promote to SCM for execution and control.

Centralized Logs and Reports 

OpenMake Mojo and Mojo Max centralizes logs and reports so both SCM and development teams can see and review results.

Shared but Separate 

OpenMake Mojo and Mojo Max gives the control of defining an application life cycle to both developers and SCM administrators separately.

Secured Processing 

OpenMake Mojo and Mojo Max secures workflows that execute on production machines ensuring that developers can only execute workflows that are on development machines.

Simplifying Multiple Steps

Openmake Mojo and Mojo Max helps simplify the execution of multiple activities that are necessary for releasing an application into production.
