Emergency Operations

The product can manage the following emergency operations when fixes must be applied to production code:

Retrieving elements from production
Making changes to elements

The following illustration shows emergency change procedures in a software life cycle.

Flow diagram of emergency change procedures in a software life cycle.

In this life cycle, production code is retrieved from the Production stage and is added back to the Emergency stage. After the fixes are applied to the code in the Emergency stage, the code is moved back to the Production stage.

If your company requires approvals to move your software code changes through the life cycle, you must use packages to perform the moves.
