UPS Email

Just got this email from UPS that says:

UPS® Developer Kit APIs Migration

As a valued partner, we want to ensure that as we approach the busiest season of the year, we continue to meet your company needs.

This message is to inform you that you are currently using UPS Developer Kit APIs in the Customer Integration Environment (CIE), which is not intended to perform as the UPS® production environment. To avoid slow response times or planned outages, please migrate to the UPS production environment by November 25, 2014.

If you have questions regarding this migration, click here to contact UPS Developer Kit Support.

Does anyone know what this about? November 25 is not very long to prepare.

Do you have your UPS gateway set to test mode? It looks like the CIE is test mode. From R9 source code:

private string _TestModeUrl = "https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/";
public string TestModeUrl
{
get { return _TestModeUrl; }
set { _TestModeUrl = value; }
}

private string _LiveModeUrl = "https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/";
public string LiveModeUrl
{
get { return _LiveModeUrl; }
set { _LiveModeUrl = value; }
}

One of our clients checked with a UPS tech rep and he said that if the gateway wasn't in test mode, the site was fine. He said they sent the email to everyone, instead of just the ones that are showing that they are using the test url.

Thanks for the update Judy! I got the email too, but did not have the test url turned on so I was confused as to why I got the email. Thanks for clearing this up.

[calvis]

Yes, very confused as well. Thanks for clearing that up.
