The Governance Enablement Profile comes with a pre-defined
environment classification system that contains four distinct environments;
Development, Test, Staging, and Production.
About this task
The Staging and Production environments are also codified in the SOA lifecycle that defines
the lifecycle of Capability Versions, such as Service Versions. There are states and transitions
that are specific to the Staging and Production environments, allowing for controlled promotion into
these runtime environments by defining the target systems in the promotion configuration file. This
procedure is appropriate if your organization defines environments in the same way, with Staging as
a pre-Production environment that allows testing before the Capability Version is opened for general
use. However, many organizations require more environments, so modifications are needed in the
profile to accommodate these differences. This section describes one way that a new runtime
environment can be added into the WSRR Governance Enablement Profile.
