Keeping the Test and Live Environments in Sync

Any changes to these items in live after a copy of live has been made and put into your test environment need to be tracked or mirrored in test. As the configuration of the new V11 system is completed there are attributes assigned to these items (ex. menus, pick-lists, clinical desktop views and other views are assigned to users). If the changes to these items are not tracked or mirrored, the attributes will not be assigned and will be missing after go-live. Our recommendation is that when you change any of the following items in your live environment that you do the same in your test environment. This prevents having additional information to load and configure on Go-Live weekend. Please try to avoid changes to the OID or RID as these are difficult to reproduce exactly and can eat up precious time during Go-Live when the CMT tool cannot find a match and errors out.
