Support package upgrade documents

[#1]

Hi,

Before doing the support package,is there any available documents or the informations of what are the changes going to be take place in the systems like tables, programs,and other modification. So that I can ask the developers or functional people to check the changes.

Thanks

Hi John,

I've never heard of such list. In all the customers I've worked in the way SP's are implemented is the following:

1. Import SP's into DEV

2. Discuss with developers changes that conflict with your company modifications (SPAU and SPDD) and act accordingly. (Reset or keep your mods)

3. Import SP's into QAS and apply transports that came from your SPAU and SPDD.

4. Set a group of business users to test QAS after SP's. This would usually flag any changes that the SP's done that are noticable to users, and then work with them and developers to correct if necessary.

5. Once business is happy and signs off implement in PRD.

Most of the changes will not be visible to users and will not influence their work at all.

Hope this helps a bit.

Regards
