Important

This step requires that each Requester have access to a test machine with Administrator rights, letting him or her get to the pre-production environment to make sure that the requested change is correct.

The Requester successfully submits a change request to the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal and then gets an email, including:

  • EMIE_RegKey. A batch file that when run, sets the registry key to point to the local pre-production Enterprise Mode Site List.

  • Test steps. The suggested steps about how to test the change request details to make sure they're accurate in the pre-production environment.

  • EMIE_Reset. A batch file that when run, reverts the changes made to the pre-production registry.

Verify and send the change request to Approvers

The Requester tests the changes and then goes back into the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, Pre-production verification page to verify whether the testing was successful.

To verify changes and send to the Approver(s)

  1. On the Pre-production verification page, the Requester clicks Successful and optionally includes any attachments (only .jpeg, .png, .jpg and .txt files are allowed) to support the change request and testing results.

  2. The Requester reviews the pre-defined Approver(s), and then clicks Send for approval.

    The Requester, the Approver group, and the Administrator group all get an email, stating that the change request is waiting for approval.

To rollback your pre-production changes

  1. On the Pre-production verification page, the Requester clicks Failed and optionally includes any attachments (only .jpeg, .png, .jpg and .txt files are allowed) to support the change request and testing results.

  2. Add a description about the issue into the Issue description box, and then click Send failure details.

    The change request and issue info are sent to the Administrators.

  3. The Requester clicks Roll back to roll back the changes in the pre-production environment.

    After the Requester rolls back the changes, the request can be updated and re-submitted.

View rolled back change requests

The original Requester and the Administrator(s) group can view the rolled back change requests.

To view the rolled back change request

  • In the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, click Rolled back from the left pane.

    All rolled back change requests appear, with role assignment determining which ones are visible.

Next steps

If the change request is certified as successful, the Requester must next send it to the Approvers for approval. For the Approver-related steps, see the Approve a change request using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal topic.
