Cleo Clarify supports every phase of business integration – building, integrating, and maintaining – in one simplified, streamlined product. An individual may create, test, and deploy integration processes from beginning to end, or Clarify can be used by teams with multiple participants and roles – including business analysts, developers, and IT operations personnel.
The following topics discuss guidelines, provide recommendations and best practices, and explain available tooling which support good system management and health for your Clarify environments. Topics cover everything from backups and upgrades, to data purging and daily operational maintenance.
This topic discusses different security features available.
Cleo Clarify v5 introduces several new features. Many of these are closely interconnected, supporting the functions of other features, editors, and resources. For the latest feature descriptions, please refer to the Clarify v5 Release Notes on the Support Portal of Cleo.com.
Clarify is a platform-independent business integration middleware that tackles a wide variety of business integration requirements. It supports Business-to-Business, Application, Data, and Cloud integration, with one investment in middleware, tools, and skills.
Clarify is divided into two components: a design-time environment (Clarify Studio) and a runtime environment (Clarify Server).
Learn how the Studio is structured, and get familiar with its user interface.
Cleo recommends specific guidelines for creating, managing, testing, and deploying Projects, Packages, and objects.
Clarify supports options for sharing the same objects between different Projects, and for sharing the same objects and Projects between different users.
Clarify provides an interface to the Subversion® version control system, which allows users to share their projects on repositories, where they are stored afterwards.
This set of comprehensive topics describe the available resources, tools, and processes used to transform data as part of an integration solution.
Promotion describes the act of moving different resources (mainly objects and Projects) into a server environment that can be used for testing or production-ready integration with external servers. The Studio provides two methods to promote resources – either locally or remotely.
This set of topics describe how to configure Clarify to integrate with external applications, programs, and interfaces.
Both the Server and Studio (including its companion Local Test server) are supplied with default Install-restrictive licenses. While these licenses enable you to start the Server and Studio, they are temporary and powerless; nothing can be deployed or installed until permanent or subscription licenses have been requested and applied to each Studio and Server installation.
This topic discusses how to select and install system updates for both the Studio and the Server, as well as EDI Standards.
Your server environments need to be backed up regularly. Scheduled backups are key to good server management. Failures occur; when they do, recovery time and cost can be reduced significantly if a recent backup is on hand. Regular backups can also ensure that production and test environments are in sync.
The Cleo Log Warehouse (CLW) is a data retention utility that can be used with a Clarify (and in some cases Harmony) server. It supports the offline storage, reporting, and analysis of log data, as well as the retention of large volumes of log data for long periods of time, which helps eliminate the impact of reporting activity on your production server.
This topic discusses the need for scheduled purging of old data, and the tools that Clarify provides to do so.
Access Control provides remote Server security through the creation and configuration of role-based user permissions (profiles). A dedicated Admin Console view allows you to enable or disable users from having access to specific server functionality, and provides an easy-to-use interface for managing users, roles, and passwords. Optional Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication can also be configured to allow users to log in using their established network credentials.
The following configuration steps allow you to enable or disable specific SSL protocols and cipher suites.
Clarify Servers use predefined port settings that seldom require configuration.
This set of topics provide installation procedures, system requirements and other configuration details for the Clarify Studio.
This set of topics provide installation procedures, system requirements and other configuration details for the Clarify Server.
