Report by Chris Konczak  for March 2017
 

Achievements

  • Migration to TEST complete
  • UAT achieved
  • Build of LIVE environment started

Issues

  • There is the potential of conflict with deployment - the technical architect has another deployment (CGS10) booked the next day, so if this project runs over, or there are issues raised after deployment, the risk is that we will not be able to complete or address any problems. There is a plan in place to have production oversee any issues that may be raised and deal with them if they require IS Apps involvement.

Next steps

  • Finish off LIVE build
  • Handover to Kinetics to do their set up.
  • ACE to test on LIVE that everything is set up as it should be.
  • Migration to take place on the 18/04/17 where the live database will be copied over and tested
  • Deployment sign off
