Given IBM SmartCloud Control Desk (SCCD) system requirements and client preferences, determine supported configurations, gather client standards, research available resources, and determine an appropriate configuration so that a hardware platform and middleware software combination can be recommended.
Given the sizing guidelines in the SCCD documentation, analyze the client requirements and usage patterns so that sizing recommendations can be determined and presented to the client.
Given client infrastructure, data flow, and process flow diagrams, determine how SCCD will be deployed and interact with existing client solutions so that functional and physical diagrams can be produced.
Given client reporting requirements and existing solutions, determine the technical factors impacting the overall solution while satisfying the requirements so that a recommended reporting architecture can be presented to the client.

Section 2: Business Drivers
Given client requirements and product report capabilities, explain the available reporting and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) options so that the client understands the capabilities.
Given a customer’s business requirement, determine how the business process options impact the solution that is provided so that SCCD solution is designed to satisfy client business processes requirements.
Given the client requirements, identify the SCCD functional capabilities so that the client has an SCCD functional solution design based on the gap analysis.
Given the need for integration or continued use within SCCD, design an integration plan so that the client’s systems could be integrated.
Given the SCCD, the basic architecture is designed, and business requirements are defined, take the client business requirements and align them to SCCD capabilities so that client requirements are effectively mapped to the software.
Given the basic architecture is designed, and the general business requirements are known,review the client business continuity needs and define/design system availability so that the solution is available and meets the continuity requirements.

Section 3: Architecting the Solution
Given the processes, business units and current applications expose the product functionality and identify communication and data needs so that necessary data is available in IBM SmartCloud Control Desk(SCCD).
Given the business requirements, processes, data artifacts and current applications, explain what product functionality fulfills the requirements so that customers understand how their business needs are met.
Given the business requirements, sizing parameters (
of users,
of assets,
of services,
of tickets, etc.) or given the sizing identify best deployment option and architecture so that the most suitable deployment option and topology for given environment and business needs are determined.
Given the current and future business requirements determine the most suitable SCCD edition so that a recommendation can be made to the client.

Section 4: Apply Solution
Given the basic architecture is designed, and business requirements are explained or known, review the client business problems and design a resolution to the problem using the IBM SmartCloud Control Desk (SCCD) capabilities and functions so that the customer problem is resolved.
Given the need to combine capabilities from multiple process areas, design a process solution to interlock the functionality of SCCD so that an interconnected process can be performed.
Given customer use cases, customer requirements, and business processes, ensure that a solution using SCCD can be obtained so that designed processes fulfil customer’s use cases.
Given the need for continual service improvement, business requirements, and improvement objectives, implement a continuous improvement strategy so that processes are in continuous improvement cycle.
Given a business requirement to implement ITIL processes, customer business processes, and SCCD capabilities, develop a solution so that the processes utilize ITIL best practices.

Redbook

Migration Use Cases with the Migration Manager Version 7.5
The Migration Manager enables you to migrate configuration content from one production environment to another. The typical use is to migrate configuration content from a development environment to a test environment and then on to production for the Tivoli® process automation engine and its applications, such as IBM SmartCloud Control Desk. The goal of migration is to ensure that your production environment fully meets the needs of your users.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication is an update of the existing book Migration Use Cases with the Migration Manager, SG24-7906 and covers the most common migration use cases with the Migration Manager, including the capabilities introduced with Tivoli process automation engine V7.5. Of course, these use cases are only a small subset of the possible migration scenarios that can be performed by the Migration Manager, but they were chosen to be representative of the capabilities of the Migration Manager.

In addition to these use cases, the book presents a migration strategy and a comprehensive chapter about troubleshooting possible migration problems when using the Migration Manager.
We strongly suggest that you read Chapter 1, “Migration strategy” first before reading the other chapters. This chapter will give you a good foundation for all of the migration scenarios covered in the book.

This book will be a reference for IT Specialists and IT Architects working on migrating configuration content from one production environment to another using the Migration Manager.
