I am no expert in this field, but since nobody else has replied, I'll
offer a few ideas for your consideration:
- I would recommend studying the "right" way to do everything. Many of the
formal procedures and processes that have been developed came from
experiences in the situation you describe.
- Software release procedures. Study ITIL (www.itil.co.uk) This will help
get your software release management procedures down.
- For procedures for replication, I would recommend Marie Buretta's book
Data Replication. She makes the point that you need to have procedures to
straighten out replication problems. If the data can be updated at any
location, then it gets very difficult to figure out which site has the good
data.
- As you design your software, add as many detailed audit trails as you
can. A good audit trail can help diagnose a lot of complex problems. Just
accept that you will have problems.
- Design procedures for roll-out of new versions of your software
worldwide. Put a version number in your software so it can automatically
detect whether it is talking to a newer version.

Folks
We are in the Design Stage of a Multi Geography Architecture (across
different continents) deploying a Host of Banking ApplicationS &
respective DatabaseS with Data Transfers occurring between them.
Applications are Core Banking, Internet Banking, CRM, ATM Interfaces,
POS, DW etc
What SOFTWARE SUPPORT Issues post implementation may occur on such a
Production Site?
Any Links, Papers, Books would help
Thanks in advance
