Oshyn Migration Accelerator: an Environment Sync Tool

Open Text Web Solutions aka RedDot can be quite complex to migrate. We’re not talking about content we’re talking about the content classes, workflows and other configuration packages…

Oshyn’s extensive RedDot experience dates back to far before Open Text Corporation acquired and renamed the software Open Text Web Solutions (OTWS). Over the years and through many projects we witnessed first hand the complexity of migrating from environment to environment. The complex OTWS migration adds significant development time to projects along with possibilities for errors which both contribute to costs. Typically Open Text Web Solutions requires working within multiple environments. You may experience issues keeping these multiple environments in sync, particularly as you release new templates, content classes, workflows and projects. Native Open Text Web Solutions tools are normally not sufficient to keep your QA, Staging, Production and other environments synchronized with the latest code and configurations. To improve the time to release new changes and confidence in the performance of new release changes from QA to production, Oshyn developed a proprietary Environment Sync Tool: Oshyn Migration Accelerator.

Oshyn's Solution

In order to reduce time and potential human error, Oshyn’s Open Text Web Solutions developers used their extensive experience to create a Migration Tool: Oshyn Migration Accelerator. This environment synchronization tool allows you to keep your multiple environments up-to-date with the latest code and allows you to easily release them from your development environment to your test environment. Content Management and Release Management are tricky to do in Open Text Web Solutions (OTWS) or RedDot CMS and Oshyn's Environment Sync Tool is the ultimate solution. Upon installation of the tool Open Text developers can quickly identify sections of content classes, workflows and other configuration packages to migrate with the efficiency of a few clicks.
