If there's a cleaner way to upgrade Starship and test it during an upgrade - I'm all ears.
Here's what I find:
a. Starship server/workstation program pretty much has to be upgraded independently and in advance of Sage 100 upgrade. I say this because you don't want to be debugging the latest Starship while also upgrading Sage 100.
b. There's not really a way to test Starship prior to going live with an upgrade because:
1. You must call Starship/V-Tech to have them turn on the new Sage 100 version (they do it via the web)
2. Once turned on this connector presumably won't work with the older versions.
3. If you do this before go live for testing you'll shut down current Starship processing
STEPS:
In advance of Sage 100 upgrade
- upgrade Starship program to latest
On go live
- Upgrade to latest Starship Link (have this handy because V-Tech does NOT post anything publicly on their site)
- Call V-Tech (way to sell support contracts) and ask that they enable the new version of Sage 100 link in their system
- Pull this down on the Starship server
1. Exit out of all StarShip clients
2. Run StarShip Server Manager
3. Click Tools > ""Check for Registration/Data Updates""
4.. New financial system should be available to select in Starship
