Authoring begins for November 2021 International release.

Check for and request updates to validation to align with large scale changes to content development (e.g. axiom, GCI, concrete domains etc).

Content Release Manager to check Daily Build RVF report daily to ensure no failures in the "Traceability Service" assertion(s).  These will provide advanced notice of the type of failures we currently don't find until Release time (items missing from the RF2 manifest, package formatting issues, etc), so that they can be fixed well before the release.

No further batch loads or bulk updates.

No further promotion for projects that have large scale changes for example promotion from the Community Content or changes to foundational hierarchies likely to have impact across other content.

Cross check that all MRCM changes have been made and the associated content changes completed (i.e. no MRCM errors on Main). No further changes to MRCM.

Create the module dependency records for the next release.

Notify Content Team about forthcoming release close and aim to complete project promotion in advance of cut off to prevent last minute issues for the Mapping Team.

Preliminary content review for conflict with LOINC agreement.

LOINC tasks to be promoted in LOINC project (where applicable) before content versioning.

09:00 - Content

Release Manager final content review and validation in the current release branch:

• Confirm root concept has been updated - November 2021 release.
• Review RVF report.
• Review MRCM report.
• Check the exceptions list for all components listed during the current release cycle.
• Run 'Inactivated concept in ref set' report.
• Spell check/ check descriptions file for inaccuracies or typos.
• Reporting platform release validation section - KPI patterns, case sensitivity, duplicate terms, release issues report, validate inactivations report.
• Reporting platform release statistic section - Concepts changed, Inactivated concepts, New components, New descriptions, Release stats, Summary component stats.

16:00 - For the first few releases the Release Manager should run an initial full Release against the UN-VERSIONED content, to ensure no failures in the "Traceability Service" assertion(s) in the RVF report.  These will provide advanced notice of the type of failures we currently don't find until Release time (items missing from the RF2 manifest, package formatting issues, etc), so that they can be fixed well before the release.  

Versioning to proceed once Release Manager confirms that there are no Critical issues in this build.

***** NOTE there will be some false positives in the new Traceability Assertions (assertionUuid: "b7f727d7-9226-4eef-9a7e-47a8580f6e7a") until the map files can be finalised and uploaded to the termserver (see below) the number of failures should exactly match the number of records across BOTH map file delta's - so if this is the case these can be ignored until the map files are uploaded to the termserver in a few days...

Confirmed no critical issues for the November 2021 release - https://prod-rvf.ihtsdotools.org/api/result/1636994906144?storageLocation=international/international_edition_releases/2021-11-15T16:28:19 - only contains:

• the expected MDRS + Traceability false positives
• the expected Map file errors because the upload to the termserver didn't work as planned this time (should resolve post versioning)
• the expected SEP failures because the automated generation is still not perfected

17:00 - If any Critical fixes have been required, we need to:

• Push them back through to MAIN before versioning
• Re-run the Daily Build manually in order to ensure that the Mapping Server picks up

• the latest version

12:00 - Technical team release tasks (as and when initial validation is signed off at each milestone)

• termServer branching and Release versioning
• Snapshot used to provisionally bring the AP validation etc back up again today, so that it works for the interim period until the new Production release package is signed off tomorrow (on the 16 Nov this cycle)...

Reminder to WCI to cut off mapping drip feed (but NOT clone over to Release Server until Mapping Team confirms that both ICD-0/ICD-10 + GMDN maps are all updated based on Content + latest GMDN content.

New versioned Release Build is created and validated by Release Manager

***** MANIFEST MUST BE CHANGED TO PULL MAP FILE DATA FROM SNOWSTORM INSTEAD OF EXTERNALLYMAINTAINED FOLDERS ******

Final builds completed and validated:

• Build using old External Map process:
  • https://prod-release.ihtsdotools.org/api/centers/international/products/international_edition_releases/builds/2021-11-16T14:00:51
• Build using new termServer Map data process:
  • https://prod-release.ihtsdotools.org/api/centers/international/products/international_edition_releases/builds/2021-11-16T14:26:02
• The good news is that the maps:
  • matched each other between those two builds, plus
  • matched the expectations of map changes in this cycle (when compared to ICD-0 + ICD-10 maps provided by WCI):
    • Simple Map = 20 changes
    • Extended Map = 529 changes
• RVF contained only
  • 3x MDRS false positives as expected +
  • 148 SEP failures (as expected as outstanding still to be fixed)
  • https://prod-rvf.ihtsdotools.org/api/result/1637073751570?storageLocation=international/international_edition_releases/2021-11-16T14:26:02
• Therefore Pre-Prod release is signed off ready for re-opening of Authoring Platform

?18:00? - AUTHORING + MAPPING RE-COMMENCE

Restart content editing for the next release cycle in the new release branch on authoring platform.

Project promotion is also clear to commence from this point onwards.

Maria Braithwaite SEND NOTICE to Content team members - all existing tasks must be rebased to prevent problems with the classification (until we can automate all rebases then rebasing the tasks is also needed. Dev Ops will still rebase all projects each release).

Mapping Drip Feed switched back on (but mapping tool will not be back up to date until first drip feed run later tonight).

• 01:00 - Daily Build first run after Versioning 
• 02:00 - Mapping Drip feed first run after

• Versioning - WCI to inform SI Mapping Team that they can re-commence mapping
• 09:00 - Donna and Mapping Team are able to re-start International Mapping work for the next cycle.

Full manual + automated validation of the versioned content.

Lateralizable and SEP ref sets. (BUT ONLY IF NEW AUTOMATION OF THESE REFSETS IS STILL NOT YET AVAILABLE).

Preparation of release notes.  (NOT REQUIRED FOR NOVEMBER 2021 RELEASE).

Production internal release date.
