Implementación de Solución de Software para la Automatización de Captura de Evidencias Durante Ventanas de Mantenimiento On-Premise en el Entorno Sitescope de Microfocus.

Abstract

During the internship, there was the opportunity to participate in the development and implementation of a software solution for the automation of evidence collection before and after on-premise maintenance windows in the microfocus SiteScope platform environment. the objective of this project was to develop a solution that would automate the taking of evidence of the status of SiteScope environments, before and after the process of executing maintenance windows in the client's on-premise systems. These maintenance windows, as discussed in 2.1.4. Ventanas de mantenimiento, are predefined periods of time in which maintenance tasks and updates are performed on the systems without affecting the availability of the service. At the end of the windows, it was necessary to take the evidence manually to verify the result of its execution. In collaboration with the project team, at the company BPS Consultores, the design of the solution architecture was generated (see Ilustración 1for more details). This included the definition of the functional and non-functional requirements, as well as the identification of the key components of the system. in addition, work was done on the creation of a usable user interface, which would allow the client to schedule and manage the collection of evidence in maintenance windows efficiently [2].Once the design is complete, we proceed to the development stage of the solution using technologies such as python and microfocus SiteScope to create the necessary functionalities. It provides the functionality of scheduling evidence taking, sending notifications to the users involved and keeping a detailed record of the status of the SiteScope environments before and after each window. Finally, after completing an exhaustive testing process, the correct functionality of the solution is ensured to guarantee its deployment in the operating environment (consult section 3.3.
