I am glad that there will be a hotfix but these dot upgrades aren’t supposed to break anything and they essentially gave us 3 days to test it (In non-prod on Wednesday and Live on Sunday)?
It would be nice to have more than 3 days, and as much or more time to review hotfixes as well.
When the “new” product lifecycle was announced 10+years ago, it was promised that dot releases would be non-breaking. Every release since then, it has been re-promised that THIS TIME we have learned and NOW there will not be any breaking changes in dot releases. This cycle has repeated so many times its barely worth commenting anymore, because everyone knows that Epicor will absolutely introduce breaking changes in any and every type of release, always. You can easily find dozens of threads where this exact pattern is repeated on this very forum. So forgive me if I have 0 confidence that “this time” will finally be different.
Oh I remember… They been saying that forever, “no need to test”. Famous last words before an analyst or admin got fired or a mark on their record for not testing and getting hosed.
I read something about a hotfix, truth is I’m not sure so don’t quote me on that, better to ask support directly on your respective cases. Just wanted to provide the PRB reference to make it easier.
What I love about these recent updates is the vast majority of people in my workplace - especially our makers - think I am the one who is pushing them out and breaking all of their dashboards and processes, so the general consensus of late is my department is inept (which to be honest they are not far off) until we can get them a workaround to a problem Epicor created. And then they break it again. (Grids haven’t worked consistently between any update since we went live with 2023.1).
Looking forward to the Monday-morning inbox meltdown
No updates from support. No updates here either (unless you count pictures of ancient computers as updates on critical issues). T-8 hours till this hits production.
So I see now Live is hotfixed to a version that was never released or tested in Pilot. Have only done a little testing but the grid filters and sorting functionality appear to be restored with this hotfix. But Pilot is still broken. I am baffled why code would be pushed straight to production with no testing window at all.
