You don't happen to have instructions for the v9 to v11 migration do you?

I thought the concensus of the group was to pay vtech $600 and let them hassle with it?

@JimWoodhead is a masochist.

Good point Jeff. Just looking for some billable hours :) . I thought it might be good to bone up on it. Especially since Starship v9 is completely going away at the end of the year. From the last call it sounds like it have gotten easier.

Masochist.

Guilty.

One thing my client found is they were printout reports with the PO# on it which they used to reconcile shipments that may have been sent to the same ship/to. That # went away on reports and VTech wanted $$ to add it back. The ability to modify the report also seems to have gone away. Experience with VTech was not bad. For $600 they set everything up. The problem always is that the client WILL fall back to you when something goes wrong and expect you to quarterback the repair.

It's not just Jim; we've done all the upgrades ourselves as well.

So Dawn, Any tricks to the migration you can pass on?

We just follow the manual step-by-step. I haven't really seen any catches so far.

Just did the server install for one customer today.

well I can report the it isn't too difficult and it takes about 3 hours. There are a full important thing to do in SQL ( I'll document them) but it was pretty easy. Also the V11 interface isn't too bad. I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade the rest of our customers.

I didn't even worry about migrating the data from v9 to v11. Since this customer only used Starship for orders going thru MAS there isn't any data that was necessary to migrate.

We didn't migrate either.
