SoftBase Systems, Inc (1994 - present)
Web Product Delivery
I created an automated process which replaced a manual one that was becoming burdensome (and time-consuming) as the company grew. The system packaged the components of a product release (binaries, manuals, readme files, etc) from various sources (including the mainframe) and put them on our web site. The program (written in Java) used an XML project file (loaded from a mainframe project library so mainframe-only developers could easily update it) to describe the project. The program would take the actions in the file (download files from the mainframe, copy files from a file server, etc), package the release, and put it on the web site. Later the ability to set variables in a MySQL table (used by the web site) was added, so the web pages would be automatically updated with current information about product release dates and file versions. The system has been in use for several years, and has proven to be adaptable to unforeseen needs.
