The MettleCI Workbench application running on your DataStage Engine tier needs to...

1. perform a dynamic lookup of Work items when displaying the Git Commit page.

2. commit to your Git platform

• Integrating Azure DevOps Work Item Lookup with MettleCI Workbench

The Developer Workstation provides data engineers with access to the Azure user interface via a supported web browser.

This is a standard browser interface, and requires no MettleCI-specific configuration.See the following links:

• Supported browsers and devices for Azure portal (Microsoft)

• Navigating within the web portal (Microsoft)

3

Your Azure Pipelines perform their duties via an agent installed on the MettleCI-dedicated DataStage Client.

See

• Install and configure an Azure DevOps self-hosted agent

• Deploy an Azure Pipelines agent on Windows (Microsoft)

4

The Developer Workstation provides a DataStage client tier with access to the development environment's DataStage Engine and Services tiers.

The Developer Workstation and MettleCI Host (used to execute Azure Pipelines) both require identically-configure access to each DataStage platform with which it will communicate.

See:

• Configuring your network (IBM)

• Configuring MettleCI Workbench to use a Custom Port Number

• Configuring the MettleCI Workbench to use HTTPS

Note that if your plan to deploy to Production requires a MettleCI Host in a separate network zone you might be interested in adopting a multi-agent topology.

5

The MettleCI Host requires regular access to the development environment's DataStage Engine and Services tiers, identical to that of Developer Workstations.

6

The MettleCI Host requires regular access to the downstream test environments' DataStage Engine and Services tiers, to affect automated deployment.
