LDP Software Update Workflow
Here is the workflow for deploying new software updates in the LDP Test and LDP Production reporting database environments.
- Reporting Team asks for new versions of LDP software to be deployed to LDP Test
- LDP Test and LDP Production software is not updated at the same time the FOLIO application servers are updated (FOLIO Test, FOLIO Training, FOLIO Production)
...
- Reporting Team tests the software updates on LDP Test
- If problems are found, Reporting Team works with hosting service provider to resolve them
- Once the software updates on LDP Test pass testing, the Reporting Team requests that the same versions of the software updates are deployed to LDP Production reporting database and updates relevant Confluence pages to show new versions
- Reporting Team tests the software updates on LDP Production
- If problems are found, Reporting Team
