*Concluded* Long-Running Report (ADUText) on Monday morning

by Steven Schlewitt

The ADUText report has concluded successfully. Previously scheduled morning reports will be catching up for the next several hours. Very fortunately, this is the last high-volume run of the ADUText report we current have scheduled, and again, this issue was largely related to the import of library migration data. Any future data processing we'll be performing in this volume we plan on running through an alternate method, which could require some downtime, but will ultimately cause less headaches. Thank you again for your patience.

This report may throw off the normal report timing by a few hours, and could result in a handful of "locked" item records or "headings need to be indexed" errors on new records. If possible, please avoid submitting unnecessary reports this morning so that we're able to catch up once the report has concluded. We expect the reports functions will be freed up once again later this morning. We sincerely apologize for the frequency of this issue over the last few weeks. Due to the unpredictable nature of the ADUText record maintenance report, we're unable to foresee how long high-volume record processing might take each evening. With the completion of the Lansing/Franklin Park migrations and our recent change to a weekly discard policy, long-running ADUText reports should be much less frequent in the future.

*Concluded* Long-Running Report (ADUText) on Friday Morning

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff: The ADUText report has finally finished! It appears the report had possibly encountered some bad records in the database, which is what resulted in the excessive runtime. We're currently working with SirsiDynix to resolve these issues moving forward. You may continue to encounter sporadic Hatwrapper exceptions in newly cataloged items as we work to resolve the error, although much of the record errors should now be resolved. This morning and afternoon's reports are working to catch up now, although it may be a few hours until we're back to the normal schedule.

Delivery of materials to our new SWAN libraries

by Kate Boyle

Everyone - At the recent "Spring Forward" Support Staff training we instructed library staff to send materials to Franklin Park PL via ILDS. Since that workshop, we have initiated a change with Delivery Service to expedite the delivery of materials. As of Tuesday May 10th, CTS will be delivering to Franklin Park PL. So, both of our new member libraries will be receiving their materials via CTS/RAILS delivery. Please use the RAILS sticky labels to route material to both libraries. Thank you.
