• Deploy to LIVE

Issues

There have been a number of reported issues where people are getting disconnected from the OPAS database. This affects all machines at the same time. This issues existed prior to the upgrade, but the upgrade seems to have magnified the problem as people are getting disconnected more frequently. Step have been taken to isolate the problem, but have been delayed due to other unrelated technical problems at OPAS which prevented the use of the software for a number of days.

Next Steps

• Isolate and fix disconnection issue.
• DSOR
• Closure

RETAIN Enhancements for mass-based substances

Category : Compliance

Milestones

RAG Status : AMBER

Report by Dawn Nicholls for August 2015

Achievements this period

• Project start-up took place
• Draft Project Brief circulated for review

Issues

• The current project budget of 100 days is insufficient to fund the 3 x 2-week development iterations that are estimated to be required to deliver the basic requirements.  The project has requested that the 20% contingency be released from the CSG portfolio but as the OPAS Migration project is encountering issues then these funds are needed by that project. 10 days may be able to be made available, at which point the project could return to 'green' status

Next steps

• Sign-off of planning stage
• Sign-off of foundations stage
• Start development iterations
