3. Cutover
The cutover date preference is set as the number of days after the start of upgrade site creation. The AUP system automatically selects a free time slot for production site cutovers based on this preference. For example, if this is set as 14 days and the upgrade site creation date is the 1st of January, a free time slot on the 15th of January (or nearest available date) will be selected as the production site cutover date. Customers can modify the cutover date and time after upgrade site creation completes by logging into Configuration Assistant. The Utility Delay defines the number of hours delay before utilities are enabled after cutover. For more details about the Utility Delay, please refer to the following answer: Answer 8161: Delaying utilities after an update File Sync copies files from the production site to the upgrade site 8 hours before the cutover, so changes made in the production environment are not lost when the upgrade site file system goes live during the cutover.
