• Upgrade A46 > A47 Mistake learned

    I know this mistake I own, however, justed wanted to give folks a heads up on some upgrade documentation that was not clear. And is you simply do MIS /?
    the switches are not listed completely.

    in A46 I used fidopoll xxxx to make my polling calls ... in A47 this changed to MIS ... that i s exactly what the documents showed. ( yes RTFM )

    so, my dumb ass simply changed all my statements from fidopoll to MIS ... That supposed to work .. NOT !

    after three hours and a "almost" panic email to AVON, I figured out the statement should actually be ..... mis poll xxxxxxx

    set all the statements to this new update and also manually did a command line test. Works like a champ.

    So, I poured myself a Bourbon- Neat, and just sat back and stewed a little. After the third ... it was all better <grin>
