Anyone been testing or implemented RUP4 for next year end. Got any war stories or issues.

Delboy

Come on Guys,

Surely I can't be the only one testing RUP4??

Delboy

Sorry Del...
Yes we have been testing RUP4.
Think main issue we have encountered have been linked to the re-application of existing customisations (RUP4 has made some of our mods and tweaks redundant so an extensive round of regression testing has been taking place).

Hand on heart i cannot say if we have hit any genuine issues with it yet - mainly because i am not directly involved with the testing of it.

I will ask around on site.

Regards

Hi Baz,

As a heads up. If you are running enhanced retropay........beware.

We implemented enhanced retropay in sept due to appalling run times in retropay by element. We managed to get combined run time of 24 hours (we ran the process twice each month against different element sets) to 1.5 hours. With RUP4 this increased to 8 hours. The selling point of enhanced retropay was that it did not recalculate back to the start of time each month, considerably improving performance. It seems that the new version in RUP4 has reverted back to its old ways.

We currently have a SR with Oracle, so watch this space.

Regards,

Delboy

Ah deep joy. I will pass on that nugget to the testing team

We have completed RUP4 testing and I don't see much issues now. Except BACS output file changes.

Hi KP,

How has the file changed.

Guessing this is the one where the *.a01 file is no longer produced

Hi Delboy,

After RUP4, When BACS process is completed, it will not genreate the p<req_id>.a01 file and it is creating the o<req_id>.out

To generate the p<req_id>.a01 file, we have set STD_FILE_NAME rule to 'Y' into' pay_aciton_paramters' table.Then BACS generates the p<req_id>.a01 as required and also o<req_id>.out file too.

Hope this help you


cheers
