Immediately before the release of the major release (generally 7 days before), you can expect to receive additional communication from Pricefx on the release and its impact on your implementation. The potential for impending N-1 non-compliance will be identified.

While in the Release Pending phase of your Pricefx implementation, this is the time to conclude your assessment of the release and corresponding impact on your environment. In order to be prepared, we should be discussing the following questions:

  • Is our environment N-1 compliant?

  • If not compliant, we will be compliant before the end of the Grace Period?

  • Do I have a plan for maintaining my N-1 Compliance?

  • What is the probability of an automatic upgrade?

  • What is the status of my release testing?

Release Pending Phase Tasks

During this phase we should have begun our upgrade acceptance testing, and should consider the impact of the following:

Upgrade Testing Process

Confirm that testing in QA has/is being performed to assess how the upgrade will impact your environment from both a change and risk perspective. For example, to reveal if changes or updates would be needed to your SSO or ERP integrations, or help bring your superusers up to speed on the new release.

NOTE: If no upgrade testing is performed, then all issues, misunderstandings, or problems encountered later are resolved under COSA. If these issues aren’t discovered and resolved before the upgrade, then the production application will be temporarily unavailable until resolved.

Upgrade Test Plan Progress

Confirm the status and progress of your upgrade testing and test plan. It is a good time to review test plan timeline and its completion as compared to N-1 compliance timeline and communicate this information to Pricefx. If you don’t anticipate completing your acceptance testing prior to the expiration of the release Grace Period, then contact Pricefx.

Acceptance Testing Progress

Confirm with the team of selected testers that they have been performing the necessary test cases assigned to them. Confirm they have had the proper time allocation to fulfill the upgrade test plan in its entirety and to determine if there are undiscovered gaps in the upgrade preparation.
