Off-site Process

Development and QA (and the packaging) is done using the same procedure as on-site except for the following:

  • Packaging and QA are done on environments that may not match the target platform.
  • Instead of sending a release or patch install package to the implementation site, only the source from the install package is sent. This package is called the release/patch source package. It is created by executing extractCMSource with the data directory of the install package as the source directory.
