It is with a great pleasure and pride that iSeerix announces the availability of iSeerix Release Manager. The official version is now available to partners and clients. iSeerix Release Manager provides an intuitive graphical interface to facilitate Release Management in Business Intelligence projects, enabling the user to identify, sequence and deploy code between different physical environments. 

IRM allows you to register your different environments in a secure centralized location (eg. Development, Test, Production etc.)  Once an environment is registered, IRM enables you to  identify code within the different Oracle Warehouse Builder environments and select each component to be part of the release. 

In addition to the OWB, ODI, and APEX objects, iSeerix Release Manager allows you to include custom SQL scripts, files and scripts to be executed at the time of deployment. IRM integrates seamlessly with Oracle Warehouse Builder and reads the metadata, allowing you to extract code from the source environment, and import and deploy the code into the target environment.  Support for other Oracle products such as Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition is via FTP and SFTP. 

IRM enables the migration of code between environments in an automated, cost effective, simple, auditable, and repeatable process, without any complex script writing (OMB Plus) or manual procedures.  IRM will automatically execute custom SQL scripts and move files in the order in which you have determined. This allows you to manage the complete release.
