Before development is begun, it should be clear the business owner considers this change critical and requires an immediate fix. An email message describing the situation must be sent to Frank Quern (fquern@mit.edu), with a copy sent to John Tuttle Carolyn Fuller (jtuttle@mitfuller@mit.edu), to facilitate consideration of the critical fix. After review Frank will request approval to migrate the fix to Test from one of the business members of the Steering Committee.

Development will be performed in SF2 both before and after the support and enhancement packs have been applied. While the support and enhancement packs are being applied to SF2, SF2 will be unavailable for development. If an emergency arises during this period, SF8 will be used for development.

Transport path SF2 -> SH2 SH1 (& SH1 SH2 for regression testing)

Approvers to begin the development work:

  • One of the business members of the Steering Committee
  • Frank Quern (PM), Bart Dahlstrom (backup)
  • Wendy Bastos Don Flanders (QA), Amanda Gilbert Jack Kelleher (backup)

The functional team must follow the standard QA Issue Resolution procedure, which includes the PEC and associated test cases or an SAP mini-spec and associated test case documents.

Approvers for importing transports to production:

...

  1. If necessary, revert each development object to be changed to the version currently in Production. In-process changes should be saved as a non-transportable copy of the object, as a downloaded text file, or as a printed listing.
  2. Change the development object(s) to implement the required fix.
  3. Perform unit testing in SF2.
  4. Transport the fix to SH1 & SH2 & SH1 (as part of SP application process).
  5. Perform the usual regression and user-acceptance testing in SH2SH1.
  6. Perform testing required to confirm the proper functioning of the fix in SH1SH2.
  7. Obtain the required approvals.
  8. Transport the fix to Production.

...

What to do in ZUTTREQ:
     Check 'Critical' and 'To' environment as SH2SH1. After approval, Ron will move the transport(s) to SH2SH1, and SH1SH2.
