Due to increased activity last night, some of our normal overnight processing was not able to complete. You may encounter issues with recently modified bibliographic records when using WorkFlows.
These will likely be records that were created or modified on 3/1/16. You may encounter error messages such as "heading keys need to be indexed first" or be unable to open a bibliographic record in WorkFlows.
We anticipate that this issue will be resolved overnight and we will send a follow up email to confirm when the issue has been resolved.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

The intermittent slowness issues should now be resolved. We believe this was relating to some policy work that was being performed as a background process. That work has now concluded.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will continue to monitor the server throughout the day for any further spikes.

Everyone -
As promised as one of the holiday gifts, yesterday we ran for the first time our notices in Spanish and Polish based upon the language preference in your patrons' user record.
At present, we have 2,233 user records with a defined language of Spanish. In addition, we have 23 user records with a defined language of Polish.
As a reminder, a patron's language preference for their notices is defined under the Demographics tab in the "Modify User" wizard. You can start promoting this service to your patrons and updating their records now.
We are planning on adding further languages in the future. If you would like us to investigate adding a specific language, please let me know.
We are presently working on Russian, Ukrainian, and Lithuanian.

We're currently experiencing an issue with a hanging overnight maintenance report that would affect any cataloging. Until we're able to have that report cleared, we've temporarily halted the WorkFlows service, meaning you will be unable to login to WorkFlows until the issue is resolved.
We hope to have this resolved as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please use offline circulation until further notice.

On Sunday evening at 7:30pm, the Symphony Production Server will be taken offline for routine system maintenance. We expect this maintenance should last no longer than 1 hour.
This planned outage will not impact the Enterprise Catalog, however, WebServices features and other WorkFlows functions will be unavailable for the duration of the update.
The following services will be impacted by this outage:
* All WorkFlows/Symphony functions
* Enterprise OPAC Hold and My Account functions
* Enterprise OPAC Item Availability
* Enterprise OPAC Ecommerce
* BookMyne
* MobileCirc
Member libraries will be notified prior to the outage and again when the system updates have finished.
