Marimba Self Service
• Existing ways of deployment
– Push : Deployment manager
– Pull / On Schedule : Policy / channel schedule
– Channel Store
• Introducing new way to deploy packages
Copyright © 2013 Symphony Teleca Corp. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 15
Marimba Self Service
• New ‘Self service’ capability in transmitter to offer ‘agentless/generic packages’ over web
• Tight integration with current transmitter authenticator
– User with subscribe permissions can download channels
– Channel store users (org specific) too can download channels
• Administrator can define user/group for categories; restrict users on what they can download
• If tuner is installed on the machine, it brings down the channel
• If tuner is not installed on the machine, the channel would come down as ‘agentless’ and will send scan report as soon as it comes down; helps in license management
• Intend to replace all ‘parallel infrastructure’
Note: Agentless/Generic package uses ‘existing’ marimba infrastructure (and strategy)

Advanced Replication Monitor
Copyright © 2013 Symphony Teleca Corp. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 19
Advanced Replication Monitor
• Infrastructure “Readiness” has always been a critical factor for any deployment
• Updates in source transmitter must get replicated to all mirrors/repeaters before deployment is triggered
• Different ways to track replication status
– ISM
– MRK tool – Repmon
• Introducing “advanced replication monitor”
• Inbuilt capability in transmitter
• Configure mirrors/repeaters to ‘POST’ replication status on schedule to configured transmitter (can be a repeater, mirror, master or ‘Inserter’)
• Mirrors/repeaters will generate replication report and sends that to configured transmitter
• Connect to transmitter over http://<hostname>:5282/?repmon to get replication status of infrastructure in a nice UI (easier to read, search)
Copyright © 2013 Symphony Teleca Corp. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 20
Steps…
• Configured repeater/mirror to send replication status to ‘defined transmitter’
• transmitter.requests.report.enabled=true
• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.enabled=true
• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.url=http://inpulw013039a:5282/?repstatus
• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.timeout=1
• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.interval=1
• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.days=1
• Connect to ‘defined transmitter’ over http http://inpulw013039a:5282/?repmon
• Lists down all mirrors/repeaters with replication status
• Selecting the host will give details on replication • Channels not in sync
• Extra channels
• Missing channels

Marimba Drift Manager
Copyright © 2013 Symphony Teleca Corp. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 28
Marimba Drift Manager
• New channel to identify, report and fix drift
• A Service-Plugin channel to work on schedule and provide ‘drift report’
• Define factors for identifying diff
– Files, directories
– Applications, registries
– Marimba channels, settings, configuration
• STEPS
– Define Golden Machine by setting a tuner property
– Define what to capture and what to enforce
– Golden machine will capture relevant data (XML) and sends that to plugin
– Other endpoints will get the XML from plugin, generates one from local machine, identify the diff and sends the diff back to plugin
– Plugin keeps the diff in ‘configured location’
– New transmitter query http://hostname:5282/?diffmanager to show report in UI
