Capital One had a complex deployment requirement for releasing it largest customer facing application to multiple WebLogic servers running on Solaris. We worked to reduce the amount of human interaction by developing shell scripts and application server tools to move and configure components on the fly. We also handled the native connectors that talked to legacy financial applications. To manage large amounts of configuration stored in XML, we created a C parsing tool with a rudimentary XPath style syntax.



The system greatly reduced required length for the maintenance window and potential down time. After a few releases, in house staff were able to create build packages and deploy them independently.
