Tidal Repository

Manage All Schedules and Calendars in a Central Location

Tidal Repository provides centralized management of workload automation schedules and calendars. Modern workload automation environments incorporate multiple instances of Tidal Automation – Dev, QA and Prod for example – with a multitude of job definition configurations. Repository offers advanced capabilities for storing, organizing, sharing and using job data across multiple Tidal instances. It supports best practices for change management and maintains a complete history and auditable record of revisions.

Tidal Repository offers the following functionality for administrators and developers:

For Administrators

• Centralized management of schedules and calendars. Create or update a job or set of jobs once and replicate the changes easily and seamlessly across instances. Even revert to a prior version in the event of misconfiguration. Repository captures and retains a history of who made what changes and when, supporting change management best practices.
• Controlled access and security. Manage user access effectively and securely. Additionally, workspaces are created – either public or private – where users or workgroups can access and manipulate their own schedules.
• Support for DevOps processes. Reduce wait times and bottlenecks for new application updates when Administrators give developers the ability to edit and test their own jobs.
• Single source of truth for schedule change management. The comprehensive history maintained in the Repository is a valuable resource for satisfying regulatory and compliance audit requirements.
• Export/import capability. Easily export a schedule into XML and import into other systems or applications.

 For Developers

• Integration with application development. Synchronize application development and associated schedule changes for more efficient continuous delivery. These new efficiencies can drive an increase in development velocity.
• Self-service without risk. Test and run “what-if” scenarios in a dedicated workspace with data that mirrors the Tidal Master environment, reducing risk to the integrity of production schedules and calendars.
