CKG Edit This page is the master "index" of WIKI articles for SMS. The information is arranged in several formats. You may navigate using the Table of Contents on the right, or by typing Control-F and searching for specific text. By Tier This organization of issues is arranged based on the Tier-designation used internally by Cyrious Software for their support technicians. A Tier-1 issue is well understood and the steps to repair it are straight forward. A Tier-2 issue is generally less common, presents differently in each case, or requires a high level of technical experience to resolve. A Tier-3 issue requires the most skilled technician applying the scientific method to diagnose and resolve the issue. Tier 1 Issues The following issues are generally Tier 1 issues. Tier 1 technicians should handle these issues as outlined in the steps detailed in the description. If the issue remains after the completion of the Tier 1 steps, the Tier 1 technician stops work on it and elevates the ticket to the next available Tier 2 technician. ||~ Customer Request or Error ||~ Tier 1 Action || |||| Installation Related || || * Want to put SMS on a new Client || [[sms1_-_sms_client_installation]] || || * New SMS Customer \\ * New SMS Server Installation || [[sms1_-_sms_server_installation]] || || * Wants to Upgrade the version of SMS they are running. || [[sms1_-_upgrade_8.91_to_latest_release]] \\ [[sms1_-_upgrade_version_8.x_to_8.91]] \\ [[sms1_-_upgrade_version_2000_to_8.91]] || || * Server Crash \\ * Move Server to a new computer || [[sms1_-_sms_server_swap]] || || * Authorize Security Key for a Newly Purchased Module \\ * Authorize Security Key for a Newly Purchased User License || [[sms1_-_upgrade_license_with_security_dongle]] \\ [[sms1_-_upgrade_license_with_license_key]] || || * Error Message: -

This type of problem requires a scientific method of hypothesis, research, and trial-and-error. Tier 3 Issues Tier 3 issues refer to problems with these characteristics: * May not be easily defined. * Are usually not easily repeatable * Usually can't be [intentionally] recreated on another system * Require a deep, broad understanding in many areas such as database, data structure, reporting, pricing computation, etc. * May involve interaction with non-SMS players or the operating system. By their nature, there is not a list of Tier 3 issues. Rather this type of problem requires a sophisticated scientific method of hypothesis, research, and trial-and-error.
