Launching fast-track change requests

Address high-priority business needs efficiently through fast-track change requests. This type of change request provides a mechanism to quickly deploy urgent changes, without disrupting revisions that are in progress.

Before you begin: As a system architect, enable fast-track change requests in your application by assigning business users with the following access groups:

<overlay_name>FastTrackRevisionManager: Initiates and resolves fast-track change requests.
<overlay_name>FastTrackStrategyDesigner: Amends or creates business rules as part of a fast-track change request, in the context of a production application and in isolation from standard revision management process.

For more information, see Creating application overlays.

To complete a fast-track change request, strategy designers can address high priority changes within the context of the enterprise application, isolated from the regular revision process. Upon approval, such change requests are immediately ready for deployment as part of a new, automatically created revision.

As a revision manager, you can create a fast-track change request in the following ways:

Create a dedicated fast-track change request by selecting the Fast track option during change request creation. For more information, see Launching a revision change request.
Convert a regular change request that has been approved. For more information, see Completing change requests.

Note: Initiate fast-track change requests with caution. For changes that do not require immediate deployment, create standard change requests instead.
