Session 3. Approving change packages

In this session, we will use the TOURDT migration scheme to migrate a change package from development to test, as already done in session 2. However, this time we will activate approval checking and processing, so that the change package must be approved before migration. Specifically, we will update the change package to refer to an approval profile called NORMAL. This approval profile will name three approval roles for the TOURDT migration scheme:

PROJMAN
Project manager
QATEAM
Quality assurance team member
APPDEV
Application developer

Before the change package can be migrated from development to test, it must be approved by three users: one for each approver role. We will use RACF® to authorize selected users to represent these approver roles for this migration scheme.

Figure 1 illustrates the configuration required to enforce this approval.
