LESSONS LEARNT FROM OCTOBER/NOVEMBER:
- We need to switch off the auto-message regarding the Drip Feed being switched off just after the content cut off at 23:00 - this causes disruption yet the drip feed still appears to run! WCI investigating....
- We need to strongly consider bringing the Content Cut Off forward to 12:00 the previous day - Maria agreed, so this will form part of the November 2021 schedule...:
- a) The handover to WCI was too fraught, with no confirmation of clean content cut off
- b) There was not enough time to run the SEP + Lateralizable refset generation process, in order to get the Provisional Pre-Prod release run the next morning, before the 12:00 Versioning cut off
- c) This way we can run the Final Handover meeting the day of the cut off (at say 12:00), and everyone can be on the same page with respect to the plan for the next day)
- d) We can also then run final content cross checks, ensuring that Maria no longer has to get up at 6am the next day to run them all through!
- e) The last promotion was naturally 12:00 that day anyway (in October), and so there was no business case to keep it open until 23:00
- MAP FILES NOW NEED TO BE UPLOADED INTO THE TERMSERVER:
- This is because otherwise they generate false positives in the new Traceability Assertion validation
- We've therefore added a new upload process into the below schedule, for WCI to upload the map files to the termserver... see rows in Blue
