OK, after much reflection and looking at my work and travel schedule, I have yet another new plan. I will push the transition window to around late October. This will allow me to be available during the entire three week integration window, and it will also allow me to experiment with a dummy server running the target OS (Ubuntu Linux) and hopefully ensure that there are no scripting surprises when we set up the new server. So… changeover is likely to be early to mid November.
So, the upgrade has not yet started? I was unable to enter this morning; message said cookie could not be found. I went to the home page and re-entered what I’m pretty sure was correct user ID and password, but it wasn’t recognized. Used the recover password option to check my memory was correct, and received from the server the same user ID and password I had remembered. Tried them again but no joy.
Re my previous comment — it was my error; I have resolved it. Sorry!
Upgrade won’t be started for a while. I need to have a block of time to address any issues first… so status quo for now!
