*Resolved* Record Indexing Issue on 1/23 - Database Rebuild Scheduled This Evening (After-Hours)

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library and Information Technology Staff: Last night, we ran a rebuild of our database index to resolve the indexing issues that occurred on 1/23. Any and all missing titles or 'heading keys need indexing' errors should be cleared up as of this morning. All SWAN services are once again available. If you encounter any problematic item records, please open a ticket by emailing help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.

We've planned this database index rebuild for this evening (after library hours) with the expectation that it will take no longer than 3-4 hours. The rebuild has been incorporated into our normal overnight maintenance as to minimize the impact to our libraries and patrons. The process is scheduled to begin at 11pm tonight, and we hope to see it complete around 6am tomorrow morning.

We recommend running these reports again tomorrow morning after the rebuild has concluded. The following SWAN services will be inaccessible during the rebuild until tomorrow morning: - Symphony Server All WorkFlows access (cataloging, circulation, etc) SIP2 3rd Party Vendor Integration (databases, electronic media) SIP2 Hardware/Software Integration (AMH, self-check, PC reservation, print release) - MobileCirc Enterprise will continue to be accessible to patrons and staff.
