A User's Guide To Moves

Overview

Moves is Education Systems' tool for managing releases and for deploying applications to the Test, QA, and Production environments. It is closely integrated with the Maven build tool and the MIT Maven repository (maven.mit.edu). The URL for Moves (in production) is:

    https://mv-ezproxy-com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/

The Moves home page looks like this:

The top-level menu items are:

• Home
• Workflows
• Administration
• Help

Access to many links in the application are restricted based on the user's authorizations. So some users may not see, for example, the Administration link.

Home

This link simply returns you to the home page (see above).

Workflows

This page shows a list of workflows that have been executed, or are currently in progress. Clicking on a particular workflow will show more detail about the workflow's execution: the original request, the log entries generated by the workflow execution (including the full Maven log), and the workflow history. The detailed information here is valuable when diagnosing a failed workflow.

Administration

This is the entry page for the administration of the Moves application overall, and the configuration of the individual application builds and deployments.

The administrative functions are detailed under "Administering Moves".
