      I'll spare you the rant about him (or you) not checking stuff in.

      When you say going 'live' do you mean to the UAT server?
      No, to LIVE.

        Not pushed, that's for sure. He was p**** off and wanted to move on. The trouble is, while he was perfectly good at his job, and knew where everything was and at what state it was at, he's done a p*** poor job of leaving things in a tidy state.

        I would expect someone at his level of experience could keep a tidy workshop.

            Shove the contents of the UAT server to live. That is what has been tested and signed off. I don't see what else you can do SY01.

            Go for a pint after work.

            Tomorrow, make some noise about development, testing and deployment processes and offer to help fix them.

            Good luck!

                Actually, I've had a better idea. Tell them you know this dreadful loudmothed woman who will come in and sort it out for them

                  The problem is, not all of it is on UAT, parts of UAT has been rolled back by mistake, so basically UAT no longer represents what was UAT'ed, if you get what I mean.

                  We have a very precarious plan to try and rebuild UAT to what it was from scraps of backups, database syncs, fag packet sketches etc.

                    A != B

                    Is this a windup?

                    If you take this live you should be shot or at least have plane tickets to Brazil handy.

                    No business is ever going to agree to that being deployed.

                      I know I shouldn't be saying this but you never, ever, ever fck around with the UAT box. You really have been dumped in it.

                      Can't you call the cowboy for a few hints on where he put stuff?

                      Sorry.
