Issues classified as a standard maintenance service provided, such as Upgrade-related activities, or issues and questions with Infrastructure and/or Azure. The resolution of this issue type requires technical expertise, and/or the dev-ops DevOps team to complete. This issue type is not resolved within Aspenware Commerce or Arrival Admin, but resolved by updating config files, running SQL, Azure updates, initiating upgrades, and more.

...

  • Used when there is an error that causes the Software to entirely fail to function and/or crash the system on which the Software is installed (Ie.eg., shop is entirely down, log in and create an account does not work, majority of guests can’t checkout.)

  • Results in restricting the majority of guests from using the site and/or the customer’s ability to collect revenue are significantly impacted. For example, an error that makes a primary product* that was online prior unable to be sold online.

    • *A primary product refers to a product that drives 50% or more online revenue at the time the ticket is submitted, for example, lift tickets in the middle of winter.

  • An error that prevents the majority of orders from transferring to the POS and the need to fulfill these orders is imminent due to guest arrival.

Info

NOTE: Level 2 tickets should not be left open for more than 5 business days, however software defect resolution for Level 2 tickets can take up to 8 weeks (Aspenware releases a new version approximately every 4 weeks and attempts to resolve level 2 software defect issues in within 2 releases). Once the defect has been re-created and a development card has been created and slated for a near-term release, a reasonable response for a Level 2 software defect would be for the Aspenware representative to close the ticket after adding the request as a high priority to the customer’s Monday board, which is a list of the customer’s priorities that are evaluated during regular syncs. Release notes on future versions will include details in the resolved issues section when available.

...

  • If it is a configuration or infrastructure request, we will work to answer questions and provide guidance within 10 business days.

  • If it is a software defect, we will work strive to resolve the issue within the next 6 release versions, however, Level 3 issue resolution is ultimately at Aspenware’s sole discretion.

...

  • Aspenware offers regular opportunities to copy production commerce configuration so that test configuration mirrors production configuration. Aspenware currently sends out available dates and customers can sign up for a copy regularly.

  • If a customer requests a copy outside of these published time-frames, Aspenware can coordinate, but these outside requests will require professional service fees for the copy. Typically 1 hr for dev ops and 1 hr for service, so typically these unscheduled copies require a minimum of 2 professional service hours.

  • Aspenware requires that customers complete a copy live to test for both their commerce and POS environments every 3 months at a minimum. If a copy has not been completed within a 3-month window, Aspenware reserves the right to run a copy and will charge professional service fees for all development, dev-opsDevOps, and services time to upgrade the customer until they are within compliance.

  • Aspenware has sole discretion to run a copy live to test in the case of L1 or L2 troubleshooting, or if a customer is out of compliance without the consent of the customer. Aspenware will always seek to notify and obtain customer approval before completing copy live to test, however, if approval cannot be obtained promptly, a copy can be run without such approval.
