What is PlatformManager?

The role of PlatformManager is to allow us (anyone with a PlatformManager login) to administer and maintain our unique Pricefx assets like partitions and IntegrationManager instances.

...

Additionally, we can use it to create and manage our IntegrationManager instances and perform common tasks; updating IM details, starting and stopping instances, and deleting our instance). The role of the IntegrationManager instance will be to manage the connection to our partition and provides data transport services that allow us to perform data uploads, and customer integrations.

How is it used within a project?

Once we have defined our user requirements and developed our data model, the next step would be the creation of our partition(s) for our project. The starting point of actually building the Pricefx solution will be the implementation of partitions for dev, qa, and production variants.

...

  • Create and manage all my partitions

  • Upload master data into partitions (Customer and extensions, Product and extensions, price parameters, transactions, etc)

  • Manage access privileges to multiple assets using Asset Groups.

  • Create and manage my Business Roles

  • Configure and setup an SSO

What are common PlatformManager scenarios?

The PlatformManager product can be used for these common project-related scenarios:

  • Creation of a dev partition for my project.

  • Perform upload of data into partition’s Product master table

  • View and modify partition feature flags

  • Set up alerts and notifications rules for integration processes

  • Manage and administer my integrations (routes, mappings, connections, etc)

  • View partition activity and deployment log files

  • Request version upgrades for your Pricefx cluster

  • Configure your single sign-on (SSO) using Identity Provider (Salesforce, Active Directory, etc)

  • Use Integration templates to easily configure the Integration manager instance for required data transports.

  • Installation of Accelerators or Accelerator Packages into your partition

  • View approval workflows for activities within PlatformManager (partition creation, permission assignments, etc)

PlatformManager Key Capabilities

The capabilities of PlatformManager are separated into key sections; Account, Marketplace, Product Requests, and Administration.

Account

This area will summarize the specific customer or partner account and includes information on; partitions, integrations, notifications, log files, reports, user access, cluster upgrades, and SSO. This area will start with the display of the account dashboard:

...

Partition Listing

We also have access to a listing of all of the partitions that are related to the account that has been assigned to when your PlatformManager login was created. From this listing we can perform a range of partition specific actions (clone, move, delete, etc) as well as the ability to create a new partition:

...

Integration Listing

Through PlatformManager, we are able to view all of the IntegrationManager instances that have been created for our account. The role of these IM instances is to allow us to control the uploading of data from external systems into our Pricefx partition and the exporting of data from our partition too.

...

The IntegrationManager product is a proven solution for performing all of the data integration needs and is the implementation tool for industry-standard integration design patterns.

Notification Listing

This will provide a listing of all notifications generated for an account, based on the definitions in the Notification Rules section. For each individual notification we can see its Module information (Platform / Partition / Integration) and when it was triggered.
