For the duration of the development freeze a special transport procedure will be enforced for changes to SAP. 
This document explains the approval process. It lists the necessary approvers and documentation, and what steps you need to take in ZUTREQ.
Questions about this procedure should be directed to Sharron Sawyer, QA Analyst at ssawyer@mit.edu  or 617-258-0235.
 Two possible transport paths during the Support Pack Project

...

(At this point it should be clear the business owners considers this change critical and requires an immediate fix.)
Transport path = SF2 to SF5 (transport will automatically go to SH1 & SF6 too)
Please note whether this transport needs to go into Production at 'Close of business' (COB) or 'as soon as possible' (ASAP).
Approver: Wendy Bastos (QA)
What to do in ZUTTREQ
Check 'Critical' and 'To' environment as SF5.  After Wendy's approval Ron will automatically move the transport(s) to SF5, SH1, and SF6.  These transports should be associated with RT tickets recorded in the Request Tracker SAP::Tests Issue queue under project name SAP Support Pack 2008functional team queues.
These transports must be double tested, meaning tested in SF5 AND SF6 before going to production.
 After Successful Testing
Transport Path = SF5 to PS1
SAIS functional teams must obtain approvals from all three groups below:
-         Gillian Emmons (primary for business owners), Magdalene Lee (backup for business owners)
-         Bart Dahlstrom (SAIS Admin Comp), Kevin Lyons (backup)
-         Wendy Bastos (SAIS QA), Sharron Sawyer (backup)
  They also must also provide the PEC or mini-spec, SAP test cases with results in the Z:\QA\QA\Admin_Testing\ <Business Area> Case_Review folder and forward the ZUTTREQ email to SAP-CHG@mit.edu.
