Overview

The below steps are for deploy to prod. The goal of this section is to upgrade prod to 7.0 

 

Install on host-prod-2

  1. Install instance package, this should have dependencies on any other necessary packages (like Social Media Bookmarks if used). Once this installs successfully, navigate to display and wkst and confirm that everything is working. For specific things to check see the Environment Config section below. 
  2. If this is a new 7.0 site, then run the install script with the -WebServerAppPoolNamePrefix "Titan v7", to ensure it is added to the correct app pool.
  3. If this is a site upgrading to 7.0, manually add the site to the 7.0 app pool.
  4. Install Coverage Report package
  5. Install License packages
    1. Remove current license package and install equivalent license under NWS/License
    2. Install Total Care or Standard Maintenance Package by searching for Total Care in JIRA.
  6. Turn over for external testing to confirm environment is working as expected and that setup is complete. Request that additional errors be created as Jira tickets with repeatable steps or direct links to track time and check off each item.
  7. If launching v7, see launch day steps.

 

Set up external DNS

  1. Update DomainConfig robots.txt values to disallow all.
  2. Request that entries in Update internal DNS section be made public for client testing.
  3. Turn over for external testing to confirm environment is working as expected and that setup is complete. Request that additional errors be created as Jira tickets with repeatable steps or direct links to track time and check off each item. Client should also test and confirm that everything is working.
  4. Request SSL certs to be installed on prod. Do this at least THREE business days before launch day. Brain needs enough time to make sure everything is set up. Once all SSL certs are installed, update all bindings from host-prod-1 and test.
