Hi Experts,

We are going for QA-> PRD transport and then for Go-live.

i would require your help in getting some of the following information:-

1) What should be the transport sequence/strategy that shoud be followed while transporting from QA-> PRD.

2) Are there any pre go live checks that should be followed.

3) Is there any downtime strategy that should be followed.

4) any common errors that can be faced during this cycle.

Will appeciate your inputs through rewarding points.

Hi,

>>1) What should be the transport sequence/strategy that shoud be followed while transporting from QA-> PRD.

Do Import of SLD , IR, ID sequentially

Why because IR and ID depends on the SLD data

>>2) Are there any pre go live checks that should be followed.

Check abt the System readyness check with the PRD server

Like some comman check ups SLDCHECK, SXI_CACHE etc

>>4) any common errors that can be faced during this cycle.
