Promote Configuration
The Promote to Production (P2P) process of the ICM platform helps to move ICM Configuration from source (Config/UAT) environment to target (production) environment. P2P process enables to selectively move ICM configuration. The Promote Configuration Tool or P2P is designed to accomplish just that.
With the 7.11 release, the Promote to Production (P2P) tool to enable users with the following enhancements:
- Vulnerability and Penetration Testing (VAPT) fixes
- Testing open bugs in P2P engine
- Some new validations in the P2P engine
- Better user interface to provide support to P2P and DevOps teams
With the 7.12 release, changes have been made in ICM to support the P2P engine. This functionality, provided to Administrators, can promote ICM configurations/modifications that are made to ICM configurations in pre-production environments to production environments. This tool provides support for contract types, contract type attributes, clauses and templates (along with the documents), notification templates, rules, masterdata, users, user groups and security groups. The elastic search sync is also supported by the tool.
Note: UI changes on contract type, rule set, notification template are not included. Customers using ICM version before 7.12 need to upgrade for this capability.
