API information note to consider when required.

The API process was not required in this year's project, however the information has been provided byPayroll and Pansions Support manager to be considered when previously API's were used

Duplicate elements can be caused by the API process because that process does not require the same validation as the application process.

HR & Payroll Annual Maintenance - Phase 2 - Security and Tax Year End Patches

The Phase 2 Security and Tax Year End Patches have been successfully deployed for the HR & Payroll Annual Maintenance 13/14  project. The Phase 2 work included some further pre-requisite patches before the Tax Year End Patches were applied.

This completes the Tax Year End Patches for the essential 13/14 Tax Year End. This then enabled further Real Time Information work that required to take place before the March Payroll.

RTI & AE Pre-project planning and P2 TYE

I am still concerned about fitting in the Clones before  P2 work starts and also fitting in the DEV and TEST patches before the consultant is back. (date unknown just now)

 On Friday it seemed the consultant realised (thanks to Greg and Pamela) that he cannot expect the patches to be in by the 17th Feb, as they are only being release on the 18th Feb.

 My idea which would accommodate this is...

 If the

  • Clone to DEV was completed between   11-14th Feb then the
  • Clone to TEST was completed between 17-20th Feb.

  Then for HRS075
