- Background
- Why do we apply support packs?
- HR/Payroll year end support packs are released at this time each year and must be applied before the up coming year's Payroll run.
- This is opportunity to bring other support pack levels up to date
- SAP recommends that our support pack level be current
- We become more efficient and more effective organization in testing

- Transport Control Procedure
- New Role of Transport Manager - John Tuttle
- Support Pack related fixes follow support pack path = SF2 > SH2 > PS1
Wiki Markup Critical Transports for PS1 fixes = SF2 >SF5/SH1 > PS1 > \[support pack path\]
- Critical Transports require approval form each of the following 3 groups: Primary Business Owner, SAIS Admin & SAIS QA
- RT tickets are sent to SAP:: Test Issues queue, email = saptest@help.mit.edu
- What next?
- Verify the Business Process Owners List
- Provide name of tester to your SAIS business support analyst
- Log on to the Wiki - confirm that you have access and review your test cases
- Provide names of those who need to be added to the SAPbiz distribution list
- Questions?
- Will the first day for post-freeze transports be rescheduled from 12/24 to 12/23 due to this year's extra holiday closing?
- Will SIT schedule be segmented into specific date blocks to accommodate dual UAT end to end cycle testing?
