The user is responsibility for integrating changes into
MICS
. This changes apply to vendor-supplied maintenance and user-generated modifications.
The final responsibility at most
MICS
installations for authorizing the production implementation of
MICS
changes rests with the
MICS
System Administrator, or some member of the organization's management staff at an even higher level.
Before arranging authorization, ensure:
  • The changes do not affect the operation of
    MICS
    , except in the documented way.
  • The changes do not affect the content of
    MICS
    data, except in the documented way.
  • The changes do not increase the dependence of your site on a particular
    MICS
    or operating system release to a level that you think is unreasonable.
The integrity of the
MICS
database is the prime consideration. That, after all, is a major reason behind the acquisition of the product. The criticality of the integrity of data in the
MICS
database is self-evident, especially if the
MICS
data is used in chargeback applications. Lost data can mean lost revenue.
The
Broadcom Support
is available to present objective arguments you may use in formulating the decision to implement or not implement a change. Any negative response from the
Broadcom Support
should be considered carefully.
