Nolio FAQ
Q: Can multiple users run multiple releases concurrently? E.g. A user in HK and a user in AU both running releases of different apps at the same time that may touch the same machine?(UI, Processes, Execution Server)
- A: Multiple users can run multiple releases concurrently. Nolio protects the customer and prevent 2 users to run processes concurrently on the same server (so there will be no collision).
Back to Top Q: Can I develop and test a workflow in a non-prod environment and then "promote" it into production, being sure what we use in prod is what was tested in non-prod?(Processes)
- A: Nolio workflows are based on “Application Architecture/Model”. Once a model and workflows are defined, Nolio will run the same workflows model in multiple/different environments. Nolio’s parameters mechanism allow the user to control “differences” between Test and Production environments
Example: in QA the deployment will be done to “Dir C:” and in Production servers to “D: “ ).
Back to Top Q: How can a process continue to run after a system reboot?(Processes, Actions, Agent)
- A: The Nolio agent runs as a service or daemon and automatically starts on boot, just like similar processes such as Apache, MySQL, etc.
Specifically, the “restart host” action will ensure the continued run of a Nolio Process after reboot, enabling a controlled reboot as a part of a Nolio Process.
Back to Top Q: Does Nolio also support automation of actions via scripting?(Processes, Actions)
- A: Yes, you can write any script and nolio will execute/manage and audit it.
Back to Top Q: Can I backup/export my processes and workflows?(Server, Processes)
- A: Yes. All user defined workflows and processes and be exported and then later imported back into the Nolio Automation Center.
Back to Top Q: Why can't I see the process in the environments tab?(Security, Processes)
- A: After a process is designed or edited, it's new or edited version needs to be "published". Only a user with significant permissions can publish processes to specific environments. Environments can be labs, production, staging, QA, or any other product life cycle operational server group.
Back to Top Q: Can I schedule processes to run at specific dates and times?(Server, Processes)
- A: Yes. Nolio has a built in scheduler module for running processes at pre-defined times. Further more, you can define who receives email notificaitons of the results.
Back to Top Q: Can I define a global process that can be used between applications?(Processes)
- A: The current version on Nolio doesn't support such global processes, but this is something in our product road map. In the interim, an application can be defined with a hierarchy, and all the "global" processes can be placed in a single container that can be used within the same application.
