17 Converting the Production Environment

Make sure you have successfully completed the preconversion, conversion, and postconversion tasks in this guide in the test environment. By testing the base currency conversion in the test environment first and correcting data issues in both the test and production environments, you help ensure the success of the actual conversion in the production environment.

After you are satisfied with the base currency conversion results in the test environment, you are ready to convert the production environment. To convert the production environment, start at the beginning of this guide and complete all of the preconversion, conversion, and postconversion tasks again—this time in the production environment. The effort required to complete the tasks in the production environment should be considerably less because you have already identified data issues in the test environment and corrected them in both the test and production environments.
