| 302 | Back-Out P rocedure | |
| 303 | Back-Out p ertains to a return to the las t known go od operati onal state of the so ftware and appropria te platfor m settings . | |
| 304 | Back-Out S trategy | |
| 305 | Although i t is unlik ely due to care in c ollecting, elaborati ng, and de signing ap proved use r stories, followed by multipl e testing stages (De veloper Un it Testing , Componen t Integrat ion Testin g, SQA Tes ting, and User Accep tance Test ing), a ba ck-out dec ision due to major i ssues with this patc h could oc cur. A dec ision to b ack out co uld be mad e during s ite Mirror Testing, Site Produ ction Test ing or aft er Nationa l Release to the fie ld (VAMCs) . The best strategy decision i s dependen t on the s tage of te sting duri ng which t he decisio n is made. | |
| 306 | ||
| 307 | If during Mirror tes ting or Si te Product ion Testin g, a new v ersion of a defect c orrecting test patch is produc ed, retest ed and suc cessfully passes dev elopment t eam testin g, it will be resubm itted to t he site fo r testing. If the pa tch produc es catastr ophic prob lems, a ne w version of the pat ch can be used to re store the build comp onents to their pre- patch cond ition. | |
| 308 | ||
| 309 | If the def ect(s) wer e not disc overed unt il after n ational re lease but during the designate d support period, a new patch will be en tered into the Natio nal Patch Module on Forum and go through all the n ecessary m ilestone r eviews etc . as a pat ch for a p atch. It i s up to VA OI&T and product su pport whet her this n ew patch w ould be de fined as a n emergenc y patch or not. This new patch could be used to ad dress spec ific issue s pertaini ng to the original p atch or co uld be use d to resto re the bui ld compone nts to the ir origina l pre-patc h conditio n. | |
| 310 | ||
| 311 | ||
| 312 | After the support pe riod, the VistA Main tenance Pr ogram woul d produce the new pa tch, eithe r to corre ct the def ective com ponents or to back-o ut the pat ch. | |
| 313 | Back-Out C onsiderati ons | |
| 314 | It is nece ssary to d etermine i f a wholes ale back-o ut of the patch PRCA *4.5*318 i s needed o r if a bet ter course of action is to cor rect throu gh a new v ersion of the patch (if prior to nationa l release) or throug h a subseq uent patch aimed at specific a reas modif ied or aff ected by t he origina l patch (a fter natio nal releas e). A whol esale back -out of th e patch wi ll still r equire a n ew version (if prior to nation al release ) or a sub sequent pa tch (after national release). If the bac k-out is p ost-releas e of patch PRCA*4.5* 318, this patch shou ld be assi gned statu s of “Ente red in Err or” in For um’s NPM. | |
