Purpose
The purpose of this deliverable is to generate a fully installed and configured environment that is ready for final cutover and start of production operations. As part of the defined system landscape, the production environment includes not only installed SAP systems but also initial technical configuration, such as installed printers, configured production network, end user front ends, and security. Further, all production support procedures should be documented and in place as part of this deliverable. Change requests that have been tested and approved in QA are imported to complete the initial production configuration.
How should it be produced
The following steps are required to have an installed and configured production environment:
· Production hardware is installed and SAP software is completely installed on SAP production systems.
· Implement rollout of all desktop front-end components for any user who will access the productive environment.
· Install and configure all output devices for SAP production environment including printers, faxes and other output devices.
· Import all change requests containing fully tested configuration and developments from the QA environment to the production environment.
· Implement all solutions to ensure high availability for production environment. This includes defined strategies for backup and disaster recovery.
What if it is not done
This is an important deliverable and essential since it is necessary to have an installed and configured production environment for final cutover and start of production.
