Hi, i can help you!

I’ve been through this process before. I recommend doing a dry run on a local VM first. Document each step of the experience thoroughly, then proceed with the actual migration using the same versions to ensure consistency. Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions!

  1. Mitigating Risks • Dry Run on Local VM: Testing the migration process in a controlled environment (like a local VM) before performing it on the live system is a solid strategy. It helps identify potential issues without risking service interruption. ASTPP is a complex billing system, and any hiccups during migration can result in significant downtime or data loss, especially if you’re moving to a new infrastructure due to cost-saving needs.

  2. Documentation • Thorough Documentation: Keeping a detailed record of the dry run ensures that all configurations, dependencies, and steps are accounted for. This documentation becomes a reliable guide during the actual migration, reducing errors and saving time. It also serves as a reference for troubleshooting or future migrations, making it a valuable resource.

  3. Version Consistency • Using the Same Versions: Ensuring that the versions of ASTPP (6.0) and the operating system (Debian 11) are consistent between the dry run and the production environment prevents compatibility issues. This is crucial since discrepancies between versions can lead to unexpected behaviours, especially when dealing with billing and telephony software, which may have specific dependencies or configurations.

  4. Preparation for Unexpected Issues • Minimizing Downtime: By simulating the migration process, you can prepare for potential issues that might arise, allowing for contingency plans. This foresight helps to minimize downtime, which is critical if the ASTPP setup is handling live traffic or billing operations.

  5. Confidence in Execution • Building Confidence: Successfully completing a dry run builds confidence for the actual migration, especially if you’re transitioning due to high costs and need the process to be as seamless as possible. It reduces the pressure during the live migration since you’ve already validated the steps. Blah Blah, if you want a script or a hand holder, I’m sure you’re going to have to make some kind of credit exchange.

I’d be happy to assist with your ASTPP migration. I work on a donation basis, so if that aligns with your budget, let’s set up a time to discuss the details. Please ping me when you’re ready, and we can coordinate a time that works for both of us.

Looking forward to helping you with this transition!
