Freeze Template System

Use

The purpose of this task is to freeze template system settings to protect the completed system from change until integration is complete. Transports are allowed only for error corrections.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that verification of target system objects is complete.
    All relevant change requests should have been released and imported into the QA system.
  2. Freeze system settings and application data.
    Verify that further changes to Customizing settings and Repository objects are stopped after import into the QA system. Set the client attributes to allow "no changes to Repository and client-independent customizing objects". The system change option should also not allow changes.
  3. Restrict authorization to transports.
    Only error corrections should be carried out and transported from the customizing and/or development system to the QA system. Do not use automatic transport mechanisms – imports should be made only on demand.
  4. Tell the teams that the template system is frozen.
    Provide information about the time schedule of your QA system.
