Qualification

 

Within the MCL-Mobility Platform environment, the "qualification" feature is used to identify entities with a compatible purpose/development stage. Qualifications are attributed to sites, applications, configurations and profiles.

Depending on the "qualification" assigned to an entity, the platform will filter the options so it only provides access to other compatible entities.

Ex: Sites with the qualification "production" are part of the customer's day-to-day activities and cannot be used to test applications (that is to say, use applications with a "development" qualification). This way, those sites will only have access to applications with the qualification "production" (tested/complete MCL applications) so there is no disruption of the daily working environment because of testing.

 

There are 4 different qualifications:

Production - for the virtual entities that represent/are used within a customer's "physical" facilities, in a working environment, meaning, these entities are used in day-to-day tasks. This is the most restrictive qualification. The interaction/association is only between entities qualified as "production".

Acceptance -  for virtual entities that mimic the customer's operations but are only used for specific testing.

Test -   for virtual entities with general testing purposes.

Development - for virtual entities to be used during application development with MCL-Designer. Entities with this qualification have the broadest access, they can view every qualified entity regardless of its qualification.

 

Qualification Management

 

•The account administrator is the ONLY platform user that can qualify entities or edit their qualification.

 

•A site's qualification is NOT editable.

 

•At site level, every uploaded application and/or created configuration/profile inherits its qualification from the site it is included in - the qualification is NOT editable.

 

•The qualification of sites, applications, configurations and profiles ensures that each entity can ONLY view/handle other entities that are compatible.

Check below the compatibility between each site qualification and other entities/qualifications:

 

Qualification Compatibility

 

 

•"Production" sites ONLY handle applications, configurations and profiles with a "Production" qualification.

•"Acceptance" sites have "Acceptance" and "Production" qualified applications, configurations and profiles at their disposal.

•Sites with a "Test" qualification can access applications, configurations and profiles with a "Test", "Acceptance" or "Production" qualification.

•"Development" qualified sites can handle all applications, configurations and profiles regardless of its qualification.
