RE: Discussion on Applying PTFs

["Sansi, Jim" <jsansi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apply a MAPICS PTF (even temporarily) to production environment? I don't
know aboot that. That's why I have a copy of the production environment
for testing PTFs and the like, if it works then I schedule to bring it
over into the live environment.

Applying fixes I thought was easy and clean. After down loading, apply
to a testPTF library and test the fix. Apply permanently later.  If the
fix blew up, remove it from the testptf library. This could be done
anytime and a dedicated system was not required.

I quess this has all changed.

Now we have to apply to the testptf library but immediately apply
permanently or errors could occur.

Everything happens under the covers now. and of course you need a
dedicated system to apply permanently.

We no longer have the capability to test a fix before permanently
applying.

This stinks and someone will get burned, do we trust MAPICS 100%.
