Viewing the Infrastructure

Viewing the Infrastructure

LifeTime shows you a graphic view of your entire infrastructure. Here we have two deployments: a development system and the final production system.


Tagging Applications

2

When you’re ready to deploy from development to production, you tag the applications you’re ready to deploy, and then click to deploy.


Informing the User of Problems

3

If LifeTime finds a problem with the deployment, such as a mismatch that would result, instead of simply deploying, it warns you so you can fix the problem.


Confirming the Deployment

4

When you’re finally ready to deploy, you can notate the changes and confirm the deployment.


Providing Status Reports

5

As deployment is taking place, LifeTime will give you a current status as the deployment is occurring.


Rolling Back

6

Rolling back is just as easy as publishing.

Building Systems Using Drag and Drop

7

The main integrated development environment works like traditional development IDEs, and it allows you to build your systems with a drag-and-drop interface.


Making Changes

8

Modifying your pages is as easy as dropping controls on them.


Modeling Tools

9

The IDE includes data-modeling tools that will feel natural if you’ve worked with other modeling tools.


Linking Displayed Data

10

You can easily link displayed data to new pages, resulting in a simple Web link in the final application.
