Understanding the Project Promotion Lifecycle

The normal project promotion life cycle is as follows:

11 > 21 > 26 > 28 > 38 > 01

Where

11 = New project pending review

21 = Programming

26 = QA test/review

28 = QA test/review complete

38 = In production

01 = Complete

During a normal project promotion cycle, developers check objects out of and in to the Development path code; promote them to the prototype path code; and then promote them to the Production path code before declaring them complete.

Administrators can follow a different promotion cycle, as follows:

11 > 40 > 41 > 42 > 01

Where

11 = New project pending review

40 = Production development

41 = Transfer from Production to Prototype

42 = Transfer from Prototype to Development

01 = Complete

During this promotion cycle, administrators check objects out of and in to the Production path code to apply fixes, and then demote the objects to the Prototype path code and the Development path code. Developers should not use this promotion cycle. JD Edwards recommends that you apply status activity rules that limit this promotion cycle to a specific group: those with the User ID for administrators.
