ChangeMan ZMF Integration Runtime Communication

The communication between Release Manager, Deployment Automation, and ChangeMan ZMF proceeds as follows:

1. A Release Manager deployment task initiates a request to Deployment Automation for an existing ChangeMan ZMF process through RESTful services.

2. Deployment Automation invokes the ChangeMan ZMF process, which uses a trusted user ID to logon on behalf of a designated username, typically the Deployment Automation user name, to initiate the requested operations in ChangeMan ZMF.

3. When the ChangeMan ZMF operations complete, an event is sent from the SERNET NTFYURL and the Deployment Automation listener detects it. When the operations are complete, Deployment Automation retrieves ChangeMan ZMF information through the listener and puts it in the Deployment Automation execution log.

4. The Deployment Automation process is updated with the completion status and the component process step is flagged as successful or failed.

5. Deployment Automation sends the requested information to Release Manager through REST service calls.
