General Notices
MDM+ BRO Refresh in Development or Quality Environments
Dear Customer,
In order to guarantee the continuity and performance of the MDM+ BRO product, we would like to inform you that, during periods of refresh of your DEV and QAS environments, it will be mandatory to open a ticket via the Service Desk linked to the AMS support contract (or via Non-Contract Service) for technical action.
This action ensures the correct monitoring of demands and the organization of activities during the environment refresh process.
Below is the standard process followed by the AKQUINET team during the refresh, starting once the ticket is opened, along with the planned dates for the refresh:
🕒 On the last day before the refresh
- Tickets with the status ‘Waiting for customer feedback’ will be moved to the status ‘On hold’.
- An interaction will be recorded in the ticket informing about the refresh in QAS.
- Service will resume on the same ticket as soon as the environment is available again.
Technical backup carried out:
- Backup of rules and objects for the DEV environment.
- Backup of objects from the /hks/b_wf_cfg folder to the DEV environment.
✅ After the refresh has been completed
Technical re-imports:
- Requests that were in the environment before the refresh will be reimported into QAS.
- Reimport of objects from the /hks/b_wf_cfg folder.
- Reimport of rules and objects from all decision areas.
Complementary actions:
- Mass activation of all business rules.
- Evaluation of logs and correction of any errors.
- Regeneration of business rules.
Testing and restoration of services:
- Carrying out end-to-end tests on the main processes.
For tickets:
- ‘Awaiting return from customer’: akquinet will rerun the tests, and the ticket will be returned to the customer for further validation.
- ‘In service’: service will resume as normal.
We emphasize that all requests during this period must be formalized via the Service Desk, which will ensure correct planning and traceability of actions.
Thank you | Sustainability and Support Team
