Well, as anyone who cares to pay any attention, the technical redeployment (aka launch) of the new application (aka web site) is tonight. So far progress is going well. I had to fix a few problems regarding the messaging system (the site uses messaging, via JMS queues, to handle IPN responses) which are now fixed in the development environment. A quick deploy and re-configuration of the UAT environment, a test or two and we’ll be all set to start the code migration.
But first, I will be running the data scrub process, which will migrate the existing backed-up legacy data into the new production database. This shouldn’t take too much time, in that its just a few SQL scripts to write and execute.
Its currently 8:05 p.m. (EDT) and the site should be up in a few hours. If anything changes that, I will post.
Update: its 1:21 a.m. (EDT) and all of the code and data is pushed into production. The search engine is being indexed right now (so search is not functional until that is complete). Everything else is up and running. There’s content that is still not entirely complete. What else? I think that is it. I am sure other things will crop up. Its the nature of new applications like this.
