3.2.2 User Change Control Procedure


Changes applied to the CA MICS system must be strictly
controlled.  This is essential if the chance of making an
error in applying a modification is to be minimized.

Strict control involves constant attention to several
matters:

    Is it convenient and cost-effective to make the intended
    modification, considering both time expended and the
    run-time resources necessary?

    Will the modification increase your dependence on a
    particular maintenance level of CA MICS?

    Would the intended modification interfere with some other
    CA MICS process, or with the process of another system?

    How can information on the intended modification be
    gathered, documented, and disseminated?
