How to manage Multiple Regulatory content data updates

[ashish25bp]

Dear Experts

Request your suggestions and comments on the following scenario.

EHS regulatory content data updates have not been done for past 2.5 years for some reason. The last SERC update was done was 1505 (1st release of 2015). Now the requirement has come to update all the SERC updates till now.

I have several questions on this:

1. How many updates were missed during this lapse of time (Last was 2015 Ist version- 1505), where can I get the exact list?
2. I dont see any option on market place to get the archived SERC updates for past period to check the delta changes, How can I get that.
3. Most Important .....Do I really need to update all the versions before I load the latest 1711 SERC update. Is that a prerequisite?
4. If so, what should be the ideal approach to do this whole activity? Is it possible to update all at a time in Dev, then all in QC & last all in Prod OR Each SERC updates, one after another, should be done sequentially in DEV, QC & PROD.
5. Any major challenges for the above scenario?

Thanks

Hi Ashish,

Do you still have release 1605? Until that release all property tree updates were included in the actual release in directory \01-PropertyTree\Initial. If you don't have that release anymore, you can probably only open a ticket with SERC and ask for delivery. In addition, you need all transports for PS and DG content from the skipped releases.

Phrases, SDS templates and rule sets can just be skipped. Install those from the current release and you are good to go (for phrases you have to use the _complete phrase files).
