Version and Release Management Overview

Software is always changing, you must manage different versions of packages, their corresponding releases, and all the various customizations on the standard software.

In the Infor Enterprise Server you can use a comprehensive solution with the version and release management concept.

Advantages of the version and release concept are:

  • A flexible development environment.
  • Flexible management of:
    • New versions of the software.
    • Patches on the software.
    • Customizations on the software.
    • Localizations for the software.
  • Developers can create and test the customizations on the standard software in a separate development environment.
  • Operational users do not see new or customized software components until the components are fully tested and released in their own run-time environment.

Version and release management uses these concepts

  • The package VRC.
  • The package combination.
