XRN 5142 continues as planned, but other remaining changes postponed

Ahead of the extraordinary Change Management Committee meeting on 1 November 2021, DSC Change Managers were asked to review three options for the Nov 21 UK Link Major Release:    

  1. continue with the full scope delivery as per the current November 21 plan 

  2. deliver XRN 5142, but delay the rest of the release until 22-23 January 2022 

  3. deliver the whole release scope on 22-23 January 2022

DSC Change Managers voted in favour of option two – the delivery of XRN5142 (New Allowable Values for DCC Service Flag in DXI File from DCC) as planned on 6-7 November 2021.

All other remaining changes will be delivered on 22-23 January 2022.
