NOTES:

Special Note: A sprint is defined as a finished portion of a product that is delivered between one week and one month. To be more flexible and comply with a

with a more agile methodology schedule, the SIO schedule has been revised to meet the upper limits of requirements for scheduling.

Note: Corporate Sun, Desktop Client Only, and Enterprise Architecture (WebLogic) Applications all follow this same schedule of installations (includes VN releases for March and August).

Note: Solaris Monthly Patching are implemented by the Austin ITC. PPRD/PERF instalsl occur every 3rd Sunday of the month from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm CT. Production every last Saturday of the month from 6:00 pm to 11:59 pm.

*Note: UNIX/Database/Tuxedo/Web Enterprise infrastructure Maintenance/Upgrade. No application changes allowed. System WILL be available for Saturday OT and taken offline at 6:00 pm CT on Saturday.

**Note: This is NOT an install weekend. This weekend has required Field unavailablity to complete the annual Corporate Comp Adjust Run. No Field OT.

***Note: Dimensions Application/Database Upgrade to the new release. Affects Development Systems and Dimension Production, but NOT field users.

1. Column A defines the coordinated installation release number - a unique identifier for each cycle. See Key for details.

2. Column B defines the date that the PIAs are due to SIO for the current cycle.

3. Column C defines the last day during which SIO will accept application software and instructions from the developer (ATT actioned to SIO) and during which VBAPERF

will be refreshed from the CDCI image and restaged by NGIT. VBAPPRD will be restaged by SIO. No software will be accepted after this date without a change order.

4. Column D defines the time period set aside for VBAPPRD to be offline for the beginning of the VBAPPRD installations. This includes downtime for the Tuxedo environment.

5. Column E defines the time period set aside for Hines to install applications in VBAPERF and SIO Lab. Additional day provided, if needed.

6. Column F defines the date when a two week notification must be sent to the ROs for a required coordinated installation.

7. Column G defines the time period for NGIT to accomplish performance testing in VBAPERF and defines the date when regression testing will be accomplished in Preprod.

Regression testing may start earlier than scheduled if the ITOPS installs are completed.

8. Column H defines the start date for release of Web and Non-Web (client-only) coordinated apps release memo to the Regional Offices.

9. Column I defines the date of the Go/No Go call conference call as established by ITOPS Senior Leadership and lead by OBPI. It occurs at 12 pm CT/1 pm ET. This call is used to decide if the weekend install can proceed.

10. Column J defines the weekend of the coordinated installation for application installation, validation, field testing and implementation. Or defines the Friday Solaris patching schedule.

11. Column K defines the Monday by which all required coordinated installations dependent on database changes must be completed.

12. Column L defines the level of installs for an agile methodology schedule. See Level of Install Key.

13. Column M defines the times when regular overtime to the field will be impacted or not impacted for the installation weekend. See OT Availability Key.

Level of Installs
Level 1: Productivity/Payment Critical Install
•BPSC will define a priority matrix that will be used to determine when an install must happen in less than
	48 hours to address system critical issues.
•High Risk install acceptance implied due to minimal to no PreProd testing and no performance testing.

Level 2: Weekly Supplemental installs which can’t wait for the next Level 3 or 4 install but are not Level 1 critical

•BPSC will define a Productivity/Payment/Correspondence priority matrix that will determine when an install

can't wait for the next install cycle.

•Level 2 installs will be done weekly so that fixes can be grouped and tested.

•Moderate to High Risk install acceptance implied due to reduced PreProd testing and no performance testing.

Level 3: These will be coordinated installs that occur on a four-week basis

•Freeze three weeks before the install.

•14 days before the install, field production outage for the install will need to be evaluated and agreed to.

•Level 3 installs should not have major impact to a majority of weekend field users working production OT.

Level 4: This is an expanded Level 3 install that will occur in place of a Level 3 install with a minimum of 60 to 90 days notice
	•These installs will need extended down time for major system upgrades that affect large numbers of applications

such as an Oracle upgrade or Solaris upgrade or a major database architecture change.

•Level 4 installs will be reviewed and approved at the standard monthly install impact review that occurs 60 to 90 days prior to the requested install date.
