Project Implementation Details:

• Automation in BAU activities: Centric and FXBundle weekly process restart done using AppManage (Tibco), weekly job scheduled via BL.
• Monitoring:
  • Geneos :-

Tibco BW component logs monitored via geneos using FKM sampler for quick and easy spotting of errors. Helps in creation and implementation of change tickets.

Calculation of the CPU utilization by process threads of all servers in Geneos, helps in managing the CPU utilization by all the processes without affecting the already running processes.

Alerting for the receipt of any dynamic invalidcontract for the Centric_Factor component and investigate further.

• Splunk :-

Creating dashboards based on the different kinds of error codes available in the tibco logs to distinguish between business errors and technical errors providing better log management.

Onboarding the log files using xpolog for the ease of monitoring.

• • Discouraging email based alerting :- Analysis of the hawk files and clean-up of the hawk rules to reduce the redundant alert emails every weekend, constructing it to the team mailbox only.
• Release process improvement :-

Introduction of several best practices. Code walk through for better understanding of the flow with developers. Understanding the functional requirement and output with the BAs.

Creation of a template for the release notes and runbook.

Template for the release steps containing definite sequence of the start/stop for the components.

• Streamlining the format for the start of the day/week checks.
• Review and restructuring of the existing batch jobs to make them more efficient for weekly log clean-ups (cavalry, bl logs etc) server restart, regular service upgrade etc.
• User management and asset management via tibco admin to restrict access to production data.
