Enterprise Distributed Application Service (EDAS) records every change made to an application, including deployments, startups, and scaling operations. You can track in-progress changes in real time or review historical change records for auditing and troubleshooting.
EDAS provides two entry points to access change information:
| Entry point | Location | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| In-progress change banner | Top of the Basic Information page | Monitor a change that is currently running |
| Change Records page | Left-side navigation pane on the Basic Information page | Review past changes, audit history, or investigate previous failures |
Track an in-progress change
When you perform a change operation such as a deployment, EDAS displays a notification banner on the Basic Information page. Use this banner to monitor the change in real time.
The following steps use a deployment as an example. The same workflow applies to all change types.
- After you start a change operation, go to the Basic Information page of your application.A banner appears at the top: Application change in progress...View Details.
- Click View Details to open the Change List page. This page displays two sections:
Section Information displayed Change overview Change process ID, execution status, and change type Change execution information Each stage of the change process and the tasks performed at each stage - In the change process execution area, click a stage on the Batch x Change tab. The task execution status for that stage is displayed.How tasks are organized depends on the number of instances:
Scenario Task layout Single instance Tasks for each stage appear on separate pages. Status icons indicate the result of each task. Multiple instances Tasks for each stage appear on separate pages, grouped by instance. Status icons indicate the result of each task. - Click a task to view its execution logs.If a task fails, the logs expand automatically so you can identify the root cause immediately.
