When a maintenance cycle ends, you can close it and start a new one, by passing the Deploy to Scope
Q-Gate.
A planned maintenance cycle exists.
You must have passed all the Q-Gates of the active maintenance cycle before the Deploy to Scope
Q-Gate.
To switch a maintenance cycle, proceed as follows:
Select your QGM project, choose the Changes
tab and set the status of a change.
Select your QGM project and choose the Quality Gates
tab.
Select the Deploy to Scope
Q-Gate. The Q-Gate needs to be approved by the Quality Manager and the Quality Advisory Board, before the overall status is set to “Passed”. After the Q-Gate has been passed by both, choose OK
In the Open Issues
dialog box that appears, chooseContinue
.
Set the overall status to Passed
, and choose OK
.
Note
The dialog box warns you about:
Open changes
Open transport requests
Transport requests which have not been imported to production systems
They will be moved to the new maintenance cycle.
For a project that is enabled for Change Request Management and QGM, this dialog box will not appear, because all transport requests are managed within Change Request Management.
The Deploy to Scope
Q-Gate has been passed and your project has been switched to the next maintenance cycle.
