Cornell Library LDP Software Update Workflow

Here is the workflow for deploying new software updates in the LDP Test and LDP Production reporting database environments.

1. Reporting Team asks for specific LDP software component updates to be deployed to LDP Test
   1. 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)
2. Reporting Team tests the software updates on LDP Test
   1. If problems are found, Reporting Team works with hosting service provider to resolve them
3. Once the software updates on LDP Test pass testing, the Reporting Team requests that the software component updates be deployed to LDP Production reporting database
4. Reporting Team tests the software updates on LDP Production
   1. If problems are found, Reporting Team works with hosting service provider to resolve them
5. Once the software updates on LDP Production pass testing, the Reporting Team sends communications to library staff indicating that new software is available
