Integração de aplicações no SPRINT- procedimentos

Abstract

In recent times, large organizations have been acquiring the most varied computer applications in order to support the evolution of their business. The same organizations have up to hundreds of applications on their workstations and servers, with each application having its own way of installation and configuration requirements. On the other hand, it has been frequent in these organizations, the same application to be installed in different ways in the same environment, even if such installations were carried out by the same person. This disparity in installation, in addition to making future troubleshooting of the application difficult, contributes significantly to the malfunction of other applications and even the computer system in general. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the disparity is due to the inexistence of properly structured procedures for the integration of applications in the organizations' computer platforms. In the present work, based on an analysis of the Banco Internacional de Moçambique Windows platform, we seek to establish a set of general procedures for the integration of applications in it. The work focuses on relevant aspects of the philosophy that guided the design and implementation of the platform in question, characteristics of the operating system that supports it, as well as the installation and deployment methods of valid applications on it. Concrete cases of integration of two symmetrically different applications in terms of scope, installation and deployment methods are also discussed. The nomenclatures of sites, domains and forests, presented in this work, are used for illustrative purposes only, and any similarity with real names should be considered a mere coincidence.
