SCD has published its Year 2000 plans as a set of working documents. This set of documents is updated frequently as assessment, renovation, validation, and implementation activities proceed. Interested parties are advised to periodically check the SCD website for updates. This web page is also updated regularly as status changes. In most cases, this requires an upgrade of the operating system and the vendor's software product set.
Corrective action is planned for any deficiencies identified.
These plans will include keeping the appropriate staff on call and available to debug and repair failures in mission-critical systems or subsystems if they occur. The design was to provide a small, integrated system resembling that which SCD runs operationally to provide an environment in which Year 2000 testing could be performed without impacting the production systems and networks. Unfortunately, funding was not available for the acquisition of equipment to deploy such a testbed.
