The Governance Enablement Profile comes with a pre-defined
environment classification system that contains four distinct environments;
Development, Test, Staging, and Production.
About this task
The Staging and Production environments are also codified
in the SOA lifecycle that defines the lifecycle of Capability Versions,
such as Service Versions. This means that there are states and transitions
that are specific to the Staging and Production environments, thus
allowing for controlled promotion into these runtimes by defining
the target systems in the promotion configuration file. This is appropriate
if your organization defines environments in the same way, with Staging
as a pre-Production environment that allows testing before allowing
the Capability Version to be opened to generalized use. However, many
organizations require additional environments, so modifications are
needed in the profile to accommodate these differences. This section
describes one way that a new runtime environment can be added into
the WSRR Governance Enablement Profile.
