*Reminder* Change in RAILS delivery service days for SWAN Libraries
by Aaron Skog 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

*This email also went out September 9, 2015* On behalf of RAILS Delivery & Facilities Director Mark Hatch: RAILS has renewed our delivery outsourcing agreement with Continental Transportation Solutions (CTS) effective Sunday, October 25, 2015. One major change will take place with the renewal that will affect libraries in the Burr Ridge service area. Beginning on October 25, deliveries will take place from Sunday night through Thursday night and incoming materials will be available for library staff each weekday morning. For example, materials delivered Sunday night will be ready and waiting on Monday morning. This change will make it easier for CTS to process materials more consistently and will even out the delivery load. There will be no other changes to the service CTS provides your library and you will continue to process outgoing materials in the same way. Once again, this change will take effect on Sunday, October 25. If you have any questions about this change or your CTS delivery service in general, please contact your RAILS delivery liaison, Demond Warfield, at 630.734.5142 or demond.warfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:demond.warfield@railslibraries.info>.

*Planned Outage* Symphony Web Services, Tonight (10/8) at 9:15pm
by Steven Schlewitt 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

SWAN Member Library Staff: This evening at 9:15pm, to resolve intermittent encryption issues and improve overall security of our Enterprise OPAC, SWAN is planning a brief outage of Symphony Web Services, which acts as the link between Symphony WorkFlows and Enterprise OPAC servers. This outage is expected to last only 15 minutes, but likely far less. During the outage, the "My Account" and holds functions of Enterprise will be inaccessible. No other visible services should be affected by this outage. We'll send an additional SWANcom this evening when the process has completed. Thank you, Steven Schlewitt SWAN IT Manager Burr Ridge Office Phone: 630.734.5130 Fax: 630.734.5056 steven.schlewitt(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:steven.schlewitt@railslibraries.info> http://www.railslibraries.info

*Important* WorkFlows Outage & Lost Transactions This Morning
by Steven Schlewitt 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

SWAN Member Library Staff: After further investigation, we've found that the server outage that occurred this morning at 9:48 was likely preceded by some transactional data loss. This data loss occurred between 9:31 and the outage at 9:48. What this means is that any changes to the Symphony database, including circulations, bib record modifications, and patron record additions were likely lost during that time. Please attempt to recapture any transactions and changes that may have occurred at that time to the best of your abilities. We have determined the root cause of the issue and have taken precautions to ensure no further issues are encountered. We sincerely apologize for the trouble this has caused, and are grateful for your patience as we worked toward a resolution.
