Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager for Rocket U2: Complete Control Over Your Development Lifecycle

For organizations building on the Rocket U2 platform (using UniVerse or UniData), Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager (LM) offers a definitive solution. It is designed to bring order, automation, and security to your software development and release processes.

Designed specifically for Linux, Solaris, and AIX platforms, Rocket Aldon LM for Rocket U2 automates the entire application lifecycle, from the initial design phase to final production deployment. Here is how it helps IT teams increase productivity, improve code quality, and meet strict regulatory requirements.

1. Automate and Streamline Development

   Manual processes are the enemy of speed and accuracy. Rocket Aldon LM eliminates the need for manual movement of programs, procs, paragraphs, dictionaries, and data records. By automating the promotion and deployment process, it virtually eliminates human error.

   Automatic Promotion: Move code through development, test, and production environments seamlessly.

   Easy Backouts: The system automatically creates archived copies of your objects, making it simple to revert changes if necessary

2. Enforce Best Practices and Compliance

   Meeting regulatory standards (such as SOX, HIPAA, or PCI) requires strict visibility and control. Rocket Aldon LM ensures that no code reaches production without the proper approvals.

   Role-Based Security: Define specific user roles (e.g., Engineers, Managers, Auditors) with granular access rights.

   Audit Trails: Every activity is logged. You can generate reports showing exactly who made a change, when it was made, and who authorized it.

3. Seamless Multi-Platform and IDE Integration

   Modern development often happens across different environments and tools. Rocket Aldon LM supports a flexible architecture that accommodates complex, multi-platform setups.

   IDE Support: Whether your team uses Visual Studio or Eclipse, developers can check-out and check-in files directly from their preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

   Synchronized Updates: Changes across multiple environments can be synchronized in a single operation, ensuring consistency across your infrastructure.

4. Manage Distributed Teams
   
   For enterprises with geographically distributed or outsourced teams, maintaining a secure code base is critical. Rocket Aldon LM allows you to segregate development environments. You can grant specific access to outsourced teams for distinct modules without exposing your entire code base, merging their work safely when it is ready.

Conclusion

Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager for Rocket U2 is more than just a version control tool; it is a comprehensive Change Management solution. By automating workflows and enforcing security policies, it empowers your developers to focus on innovation rather than administration, ensuring your IT projects are delivered on time and within budget.
