ChaRM: Several maintenance cycles in one maintenance project?

[Former Member]

Hi!

We are working with urgent correction within ChaRM and thinking about to implement the normal corrections as well.

Our ChaRM workflow for normal corrections is characterized by:

a)corrections with different Life cycle (those who will be processed within 1 week, other with 2 week, etc.)

Questions:

1) Is it possible to have several maintenance cycles for one maintenance project to handle condition u201Ca)u201D?

2) What will happen with all the normal corrections and urgent corrections that have a long life cycle (status: in development, test, etc.) when the charm manager set the status of maintenance cycle in u201CGo liveu201D?

Thank you very much!

Hi Holger,

Maintenance cycle and SMI project is a 1:1 relationship.

In status GoLive you will be able to continue developement/work on normal corrections but you will not be able to release any transport requests/create transport of copies so your testings in QA will be limited.

In phase GoLive you are able to import requests into production.

Normal Corrections which have not been released yet are not lost. Depending on your scenario you may switch phases back to "in dev with rel." after you imported into production. It is not necessary to close and recreate maintenance cycles if you use one project for daily/weekly maintenance.
