How much effort is roughly needed to get a central ATC system up and running?

Hi Folks,

we are in the planning stages to set up a central ATC system and I have already read through Olga Dolinskaja's neat and very helpful blog post series about how to go about this.

Apart from knowing what to do - which is covered in the blog posts - , I'd also like to get a better handle on the effort we'll have to expect to get this done and I would therefore appreciate any feedback from any of you who have already done this. Judging from the how-to blog posts, my guess is that it won't be much more than a "couple of days", but I'd like to narrow this down a bit more if possible.

I'd also appreciate any hints about potential snags in the process we are likely to encounter - if any.

The central system will be a new 7.52 Netweaver system and the initial satellite systems are on 7.50 with EHP8 but more satellites will most likely be added later.

Apart from the technical setup we'll obviously also need to make the developers aware of this and this could prove "interesting" and potentially somewhat timeconsuming because they are spread-out across the globe and sometimes are just contracted for specific projects (see my related thread for some background).

Thanks for any feedback you have!

Cheers

Baerbel
