Strategy
In order to make sure that we can prepare and test the website in the best way possible, we will refresh the test website from the production website every two weeks. In order for this to be viable we will impose a freeze on every major changes from the start to the project and impose a freeze on production changes from two weeks before launch.
Refresh Process
In order to refresh the test enviroment, we need to:
- Copy the test database to backup database so we have backup of the changes we have made to the test environment.
- Copy all files from production environment to the test environment without deleting the current files.
- Script changes to tables in the production database that have been made.
- Apply scripted changes to the test database.
- Apply manual changes to the test enviroment via admin interface.
Migration Plan
Up To Two Weeks Before Go Live
Refresh test database with changes from production as described above every two weeks.
Two Weeks Before Go Live
Two weeks before go-live, we will institute a freeze on all production environment changes with the exception of the news section so we can test in a stable environment.
Go Live
- Manually apply production changes made in the last two weeks to test environment.
- Backup production environment
- Copy database and files from test enviroment to production.
- Perform checkout.
Manual Steps
The following steps will need to be executed manually as part of the migration:
- Go to Content > Article Manager > Options and set Linked Titles to No
- Go to Extentions > Module Manager > Options and set the positions for Search and Smart Search to head-search
