Based on the criticality of the application, a clear escalation procedure/support planshould be put in place to address environment related issues. This should be plannedin advance with the DataStage support team as well as the DB hosting team. Ability and experience to provide 24*7 support is critical for most of the high volumeData W arehouse ETL applications. Infosys Global Delivery Model suits for round theclock support with onsite-offshore resources. Familiarity with all the support/turnover activities and systems like remedy to managethe post implementation/ turnover effectively.
