UPDATED RESOLUTION BLUEcloud Analytics Renewals Statistics Incorrect

by Vickie Totton

When we resolved the issue with auto renewals it inadvertently pulled in circulation statistics for generic users. We have now resolved this issue and updated all of the circulation statistics on the SWAN support site. If you use BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) circulation statistics reports that include generic users you do not have to do anything. If you do not use these reports you will have to rerun your reports for an accurate count. Thank you again to the libraries who alerted us to the issue and thank you all for your patience during our transition to BCA Circulation Statistics!

If you ran any of your own renewal statistics on BCA you will need to re-run them. You will also need to re-run any statistics that combine checkouts and renewals. Now that the BCA statistics reports have been fully tested we have removed the statistics reports from WorkFlows. This includes any of the Monthly Checkouts by Item Type/Item Cat 2 reports you may have scheduled to run on a monthly basis. Please find attached the documentation for running your statistics reports on BCA. Thank you to the libraries who reported the issue to us.

We are able to include them on our reports from WorkFlows and have opened a case with SirsiDynix to determine why they are not included in BCA. We were hoping to have a solution by now so we could re-run the reports on BCA but do not yet have an answer. Once we have an answer we will re-run all of the reports. If you are using a report from BCA that combines checkouts with renewals those reports will also be incorrect as they are not counting the auto renewals. Please find attached the June Monthly Renewals by Interface report from WorkFlows. If we do not have a solution by tomorrow we will re-run all of the June renewal statistics in WorkFlows for you.

*Update* Incomplete Search Results in Enterprise

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff: Some good news this morning – last night’s harvest and import to Enterprise were successful, so you should be seeing records in Enterprise as recent as Thursday afternoon. Over the weekend, we’ll be making additional adjustments to refine the automated schedule, which may be met with mixed success. We’ll send additional SWANcoms to provide updates as the weekend progresses. Thanks again for your patience.

We have a few more ideas that we’ll be working on throughout the day and this evening, and we hope to have better news for you tomorrow morning. Fortunately, we are seeing successful BLUECloud Analytics extracts, so while access to BCA may be slow due to the higher volume of user traffic, the data you’re seeing should be correct and up-to-date.

We believe this error to be the result of conflicting Enterprise eRC tasks (digital record imports), which ultimately caused our full harvest to be terminated by another internal system task. This error caused only a fraction of the Symphony catalog to display in Enterprise on Saturday, which is when SWAN staff, working in conjunction with SirsiDynix support, issued a manual harvest task during the day to achieve a full catalog sync. While Saturday’s manual harvest did succeed, the automated overnight harvest task has continued to operate sporadically, to the point that we decided to pause the task, and an associated system sync agent in order to maintain our last full, successful harvest data from Saturday. This means that any catalog changes (item additions, removals, or edits) that have occurred in Symphony since Saturday are not currently being reflected in the Enterprise catalog, and will not be reflected until our next successful harvest. Additionally, the pausing of the sync agent has also caused issues with BLUECloud Analytics, in that requested report data is not being returned. This issue does not affect Enterprise item availability, patron account data, or access to the My Account functions. It also does not affect any functions of Symphony/WorkFlows. This is only related to specific titles and records as they appear in the Enterprise catalog and BCA report functions. Moving forward, we’re working on a plan with SirsiDynix to restructure our harvest schedules to get the full catalog sync back on track for tomorrow morning, and we hope to resume functions to restore BCA later today. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, and we will send additional updates via SWANcom as they become available.

Recent Issues with Enterprise & Symphony

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Membership- I just wanted to let everyone know that we continue to work with SirsiDynix support staff in determining the cause of our Enterprise harvests going awry. The SWAN IT staff have been very communicative about the issues and the services impacted. While we attempt to avoid downtime or disruptions during library business hours, occasionally the unexpected occurs. SWAN IT are working hard with SirsiDynix support to determine the cause of Enterprise harvest issues. I have confidence in the process and how SWAN staff and SirsiDynix are responding. Some issues with BLUEcloud Analytics and Enterprise Checkout History are being dealt with separately and through the appropriate personnel. >From a communication standpoint, SWAN staff also use the Support site to update libraries, so I would encourage library staff to check our News blogroll if you are unfamiliar with the recent issues. https://support.swanlibraries.net/news Lastly, encourage your colleagues to subscribe to SWANcom to receive alerts from SWAN staff. https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/email-lists-communication Thank you for your patience as we work through these issues.
