We had the fun (= challenge) of having to deploy our fancy, new e-invoicing module into some old deployments of Advanter (= backporting).

The task was huge, because

• - it was no small functionality to deploy; we needed to transfer everything in the right order so as not to break dependencies
• - each deployment of a different age is a bit - or a lot - different.
  •   - Things were going to break (because either not present or subtly renamed over the years) and have to be fixed or 'tuned'.
• - some customers needed to have their FileMaker upgraded
• - and some computers needed to be correctly setup
  •   - *don't* add new fields to layouts, and please kill those default fields!
• - A whole new table needed to be built in *identically* to the original table.
• - Time is money. A Slack Canvas documented the steps. And fmIDE showed the code.

The task brought nearly all of MrWatson's tools together to make the job efficient, fast and fun.

Don't leave code quality to chance - Prove you are right! - Seeing is believing! Come see!
