RACS STORE MAINTENANCE & DOWNTIME - UPDATE 2

UPDATE: So far so good. Our store maint continues and everything is currently on schedule. We should complete the back-end maint sometime late this evening.

The store is currently up and running normally, including secure checkout, and orders may be placed on the store site as per normal.

There will be no regular order shipments today (Friday, April 28th). Tomorrow we will begin to process orders and shipments that have accumulated since Wednesday evening. These will be completely caught up by Monday.

Qued email confirmations for orders placed since Wednesday evening will begin going out late this evening. Qued order number assignments will also occur at this time.

For a short time there will be a lot of broken images on the store site. We are bringing up all the back-end systems first. The new templates that pull the new image server URL's will be the last thing we do.

Customer service continues to function normally. If you have any questions about anything at all, just drop us a line.

There will be no newsletter today (Friday). I'm planning to work one up for you tomorrow morning after our systems are back up

We greatly appreciate everyone's patience while we complete this work. Thanks very much!

RACS STORE MAINTENANCE & DOWNTIME - UPDATE

UPDATE: The engineers weren't quite ready to begin last night, so we had to push the start of the server work up a day. We did end up processing and shipping orders placed on Wednesday April 26th.

After a 24 hour delay, we began our store server migration Wednesday, April 26th at 10PM Eastern Time (EDT). During this time, checkout will be disabled and even if the store is working, adding to the cart will fail. In addition APIs, such as Order API and Catalog API are going be disabled. There will be periods Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning when attempts to access the store site will trigger your browser's 'not private' or 'not secure' error message. This cannot be helped, so do not be alarmed.

After approximately 8 hours, sometime Thursday morning the store will come back online, checkout will be re-enabled and orders will be able to be placed. Once that happens availability and some functions/images will be spotty. Order numbers will not be immediately assigned to placed orders, and email confirmations will not immediately be sent. We have to turn these things back on step by step, so please be patient.

There may be some broken image links once the store is restored. That will be the last thing we fix once everything else is back up and running.

We will not be processing orders on Thursday April 27th. Order processing will resume sometime Friday afternoon, however, we may not catch up on email notifications until Monday May 1st. Looks like we will be working Saturday to wrap everything up. Hopefully, I can sleep on Sunday. ;-)

Again, thanks for your patience!

RACS STORE MAINTENANCE & DOWNTIME

On Tuesday, April 25 beginning around midnight EST, the RACS team will be migrating the RACS store site back-end servers and performing upgrades on our store software. There may be short periods early Wednesday morning where order checkout will be unavailable.

From Wednesday morning thru Thursday evening store availability and some functions/images may be spotty, however, orders should be able to be placed normally. During this period:

Order numbers will not be generated immediately
Order notification and confirmation emails will not be sent immediately
Realtime authorizations will be done, but auto-capture will not occur immediately
Existing coupons will function normally
Real-time discounts will function normally
Gift certificate redemption will not be available
Promotions will not be active
Some store images will not load properly

During this maintenance period customer service messaging will function normally.

Orders placed thru 5pm EST on Tuesday, April 25th will be processed prior to the store maint.

No store order shipments will be processed on Wednesday April 26th. Shipments should resume in the afternoon on Thursday April 27th, and we should be all caught up on order shipments by close of business on Friday April 28th.

Having been through many such updates I'm sure there will be little SNAFU's that we will need to sort out on the other side, so our goal is to have all store functions back up and running Friday morning, and fix any cosmetic issues over the weekend.

And don't worry, the store site itself is not going to change. It's not time for that yet... ;-)

We greatly appreciate everyone's patience during this period as the updates are a necessary step in the process to facilitate some new things we are planning to roll out for the RACS store site later this year.

Thanks!
