Introduction

Axsy's Summer '24 release includes a changeover from multiple industry specific mobile app variants (Field Service, Public Sector, Retail Execution) to a single mobile app that support all industry variants and when used in conjunction with Axsy Code Push, gives customers the freedom to upgrade to the latest Axsy release at a time of their own choosing.


Existing Customers must migrate their current Axsy Summer '23 orgs to Axsy Summer '24. This article breaks the migration from Summer '23 to Summer '24 into migration transition stages that customers should follow to achieve a smooth migration to Summer '24.


The video below describes the process flow from Axsy Summer '23 to Axsy Summer '24.




Important Dates

Axsy Summer '24 General Availability: Axsy Summer '24 (mobile app and managed packages) will be available from 1st August 2024, no migration plan (unless otherwise agreed with Axsy) should start before this date.


Migration Completion Customers must complete their migration from Axsy Summer '23 to Axsy Summer '24 before the release of Axsy Winter '25 (exact dates to be confirmed).


Customer Migration Plans

Customers migrating to Axsy Summer '24 can use the migration transition stages described lower down in this article to construct their own detailed migration plans respecting the important dates listed above and ensuring that all relevant orgs are included in their migration plans.


An example migration plan is shown below. The plan shows one or more lower environments being migrated before a production environment is migrated.
