How to run tests before pushing a backport changeset?

Hi,

I see actual 12u maintainers have not replied yet, so I am willing to share my understanding.

It seems that jdk12u-fix-yes is only set when jdk12u-fix-SQE-ok is set. jdk12u-fix-SQE-ok is
apparently done by Oracle-internal QA department, which probably indicates the patch went through
the internal QA process? Anyway, jdk12u-fix-yes and local testing should be enough to push.

Yes, that is correct. JDK 12 Release Candidate is in jdk/jdk12, not in jdk-updates/jdk12u. Whatever
you push to jdk-updates/jdk12u now would be in 12.0.2.
