UPDATE: Starting February 2023, we can use your ITCs OWN Domain and Naming Scheme for Production Redesign Hosting!!! Historically we have created URL names using the ssdt-ohio.org domain, as outlined in the next section below. REQUIREMENTS:
We will STILL create an alternate URL using the ssdt-ohio.org domain in addition to your own domain, so that portion of the deployment WILL be fully automated, and allow you to perform testing before turning on your live URL. If you wish to explore this option, please email dco@mcoecn.org for further information. |
When hosting production application with the MCOECN, the URL to access your application will be of the format: https://<itc>-<district name/code>-<application>.ssdt-ohio.org
If you create a "test" instance, the url will start with "test-"
|
A Production instance of USAS/USPS/INVENTORY/WORKFLOWS is the live instance used by the district for their daily tasks. A Production instance must be marked as "LIVE" on the date the district goes live with the application.
There is a VRA task called "Mark As Live" that you must run when you are ready to mark a district application as LIVE. Note that running this WILL take the application offline for a few minutes, so you should coordinate this downtime with the district, or schedule the "Mark as Live" task to run overnight. |
A Demo instance of USAS/USPS/INVENTORY/WORKFLOWS can be created to provide a sandbox for new Redesign customers to view and test Redesign. A Demo instance contains randomized data, not live data, so you do not have to worry about exposing any real data. If you mess it up, delete the Demo and create a new one to put it back to square one. Only ONE Demo instance is allowed per application per ITC. |
NOTE: Other than the URL NAME used to access them, there is really NO difference between a Test and a Training instance. Creating a test instance will find the latest backup file for the district and restore it to the Test instance. A Training instance of USAS/USPS/INVENTORY/WORKFLOWS can be created to use when training a new district on a Redesign application. Create a training instance will ALSO find the latest backup file for the district and restore it to the Training instance. |
