What do I need to do?

You may go into your test site at any time to try out the new updates to the system to ensure there are no adverse effects. If you run into any issues along the way, please reach out to our support team so we can address the issues.

Once you have verified the updates are good to go, you may apply the update to your production environment at any time. Keep in mind though that this update will require an update to the database schema (attached), so we recommend applying this update either before or after the working day to minimize disruptions. If your SS solution is hosted on ARE provided servers, you can ignore the steps below, as these will be handled by the ARE team once approval is given.

To apply the update to the production files on the production app server:

  1. Backup/ZIP your current production site, found at “/Sites/Prod/” on the root of your data drive
  2. Copy the files found in the “/ARE/Site Builds/Prod/” folder to the folder above (both folders found on the root of the data drive)
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the following folders:
    1. /ARE/Extras/CarrierPlugins -> /SHIPSTOREv4 Extras/CarrierPlugins
  4. Once the files are copied, connect to the SHIPSTOREv4_Prod DB via SSMS on the desired server as a SQL admin and run the following SQL script: Enterprise update 2026Q3 - UP.sql

Once applied, the web portal update may require the users to refresh (F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R) their Ship screen to pull in the changes if they are not seeing them when they log in after the update. As always, we can perform this update for you as well, just let us know if/when you would like us to perform the update. 

 

What if I have problems after applying the updates?

If the issues encountered are minor in nature, please reach out to us via email (support@shipstore.com) or phone (816-781-5100). So that we may work with you to correct these issues. If for any these updates are impacting shipping heavily, you can revert the update by:

  1. Deleting the existing production folder found in step 1 above
  2. Extract the backup you made in step 1 above to restore the old application
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the folders found in step 3 above
