Specifications

l Fix: ChangeBASE assesses packages according to a Red/Amber/Green (RAG) system. ChangeBASE can

automatically remediate many Amber issues, and some Red issues, by means of MST (Transform) files.

The underlying packages and installations are never modified directly. ChangeBASE can also fix

compatibility issues through the use of additional files such as Manifests and runtimes to allow packages

to run correctly on the new Platform. By using Transform files, subsequent upgrades or patches can still

be applied while allowing you to maintain support for the particular packages.

l Virtualize: ChangeBASE can automatically create a virtualized package in a number of formats,

including Microsoft’s App-V, Symantec Workspace Virtualization (SWV), and VMware’s ThinApp.

l UAT: The fixed package is now ready for User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Package owners can test in the

target environment.

l Deploy: The package and fixes are deployed to the target environment.

l Manage: There is a 'Patch Assessment' report that rolls up Microsoft Patch Tuesday updates from July

2013 onwards. When you run the report, it shows the packages in your database on which the

updates are likely to have an impact. The current RAG statuses of your applications remain

unaffected by the report.
