Re-Training database is located on Osprey, and is used for training UI employees. The packages include an installation guide, User and Process Notes, updates to the reference manual, and a tape with the actual upgrade.
Some upgrades are major changes, others are an accumulation of various smaller items.
The tape is loaded into the SEED and TRNG database as is, with no UI modifications. For each upgrade, the AD programmer must compare the upgrade lists to the directory containing UI modificati ons. Most of the time, the UI modification must be recreated in the upgrade. The revised upgrade is installed in the PPRD database and tested by the user offices.
