The Integrity of the Production Environment

As soon as you transfer objects into the PD900 path code, end users can access the changes. Therefore, you should test the modified objects before you transfer them to the production path code.

After you transfer objects to the production path code, they are immediately deployed to end users under these circumstances:

• When a user is set up for just-in-time installation (JITI), the system automatically deploys the object to the user's workstation the first time that the user attempts to access the object.

  See Deployment Methods.

• When you build an update package that includes a business function build for that package, the system builds the business function and then globally links it with all other business functions in the parent package.

Do not transfer business functions into the production path code until you are ready to deploy because during a package build, a global build of business functions automatically includes the new business functions. When you transfer changes into the production path code, they will not be available to users until you build a full or update package.
