Database files are only a part of updating an application. To handle these changes, many organizations use change management tools available through other software providers. Assure MIMIX Promoter can be used with third party change management applications that promote non-database objects such as programs and display files. This enables you to coordinate the movement of both non-database objects and data while your application updates the production database.
Assure MIMIX Promoter keeps updating the file with the scheduled changes and any changes happening to the original file until the update is complete. Then, when the scheduled time arrives, Assure MIMIX Promoter takes control of the files and moves the new files into production in a matter of moments. This is the only period when the application must be taken offline.
