On-premises implementation - test, deploy, and operate
This unit is a summary of the test and deploy phases of an implementation of Finance + Operations (on-premises). Many of the steps are the same as the cloud implementation explained earlier in this module, and will therefore reference that information.
Test
1. Create an on-premises connector
To deploy an on-premises instance from Lifecycle Services, you must set up an on-premises connector. To set up the connector, go to Project Settings, select the On-premises Connectors tab, and then follow the instructions.
2. Deploy sandbox environment
Same as cloud implementation
3. Testing and sign-off
Same as cloud implementation
4. Monitor system health
Always monitor your system health, as with the cloud implementation.
5. Triage bugs
Same as cloud implementation
6. Support tickets
Same as cloud implementation
7. Priority bugs closed
Same as cloud implementation
8. Gold build sign-off
Same as cloud implementation
9. Performance testing sign-off
Same as cloud implementation
Deploy
1. Create an on-premises connector
See the instructions in the Test section above.
2. Deploy a production environment
After you have a gold build identified, and all prerequisites are met, you can begin to work on the Provisioning checklist. This checklist must be complete before you can deploy a production environment using Lifecycle Services.
3. Perform mock cutover
To ensure environment, data, and code packages are successful, a mock cutover must be performed.
4. Monitor system health
Monitor your system health at all times.
5. Perform Go-live health check
All project team members must participate in a Go-live health check to verify that the system is operating as expected.
Operate
Support tickets
You can create a support ticket with Microsoft by using the support service in Lifecycle Services.
