Well, we survived the weekend. My aim for doing the migration on a long weekend was to give us an extra day of troubleshooting. My real fear was that ACARS would croak, we'd be unable to file PIREPs or the Water Cooler would be nonfunctional. None of that has occurred. The site isn't 100%, but I'd say it's around 90-95%.
We've got a healthy issue list, but by and large things are functional. The site is literally getting pounded, and we're seeing issues that we never could have seen in testing. There's just something about getting 900 people to beat a site half to death that brings all sorts of issues to the forefront!
The next two weeks are going to be a challenge. The server will bounce up and down, and changes will occur. The vast majority of our site was written in 2001, and we have just replaced it lock, stock and barrel. When I look at the web sites run by our "competition" I think we are placed to make a quantum leap beyond them. When I see the steady stream of ACARS flight reports, I have faith that by and large, this is going to work. At the same time, we're still going to have a rough few weeks.
I'm off to bed. Let's hope the server stays up for the next 12 hours.
Cheers!
