I would also suggest either of the following: 1) If possible, run Dev/Test/Prod on separate machines. Obviously, this requests budget, but if your production system is the lifeblood of your company, it is worth it. Otherwise: 2) Have the accounts set up with appropriate file permissions (owner/group) and *separate login credentials* so someone if Dev cannot simply change a file pointer to start modifying production.

We typically recommend that customers have at minimum two accounts, a test account and a live account which are virtually identical and share nothing. This allows us to install to the test account and have them test the code and then we take the same ravel files and roll it up to their production environment. For those customers where we develop on their system, we also recommend having a development account separate from the other two. We then roll from DEV -> TEST -> production. -K _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
