RAILS/SWAN Planned Network Outage on Fri, Feb 17th at 11pm
02/15/2017 - 10:49 - by Steven Schlewitt
SWAN Member Library Staff:
We've received notice from RAILS and ICN that additional network maintenance is scheduled for a provider site in Chicago this Friday, February 17th, beginning at 11pm. The maintenance and associated outage is expected to last no longer than one hour.
The site affected provides network access to many of our SWAN libraries and to the SWAN/RAILS datacenter itself, so SWAN and many individual libraries will be impacted during that brief period.
The following SWAN services will be impacted during the outage:
- 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)
- Enterprise
* My Account Features
* Commerce
* Item Availability
- Bookmyne
- MobileCirc
Again, this outage is planned from 11pm-12am on Friday night, so it should not affect libraries during normal operating hours. In the unlikely event that the outage should extend beyond the anticipated timeframe considerably, we'll issue an updated SWANcom to alert morning staff.
If you have any questions regarding the outage, please email us at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.
Thank you.

It appears that this morning's intermittent network problems have quieted down.
All VPN connections seem to have normalized and WorkFlows is operating normally.
We are continuing to investigate the root cause of this problem and will provide any updates in following SWANComs.
In the meantime, if you are experiencing any slowness within WorkFlows or related systems, please open a ticket and we will follow up.
Thanks again for your patience.

The intermittent network outage that was impacting the RAILS data center yesterday has begun to once again cause some general slowness while using WorkFlows along with some occasional timeout/logouts.
We are currently investigating the root cause of these network anomalies.
The following services are potentially impacted by this issue:

* SIP2 Hardware/Software Integration (AMH, self-check, PC reservation, print release)
- Enterprise
* My Account Features (slow to access)

* Item Availability (slow to access)
- Bookmyne
- MobileCirc
We'll send additional SWANcoms when more information is available.
Thank you for your patience.

We have been monitoring the network connection at the RAILS data center and it appears that the earlier issue is now resolved.
If anyone continues to encounter any slowness or timeouts within their WorkFlows clients, please open a ticket and we will follow up.
Thanks for your patience.

++Please route to appropriate personnel++
The wait is over! Monthly WorkFlows circulation statistical reports that are on the SWAN website can now be produced in BLUEcloud Analtycs (BCA) at your convenience. The reports can be found on the BLUEcloud Analytics website<https://na1-microstrategy.bc.sirsidynix.net/bcanalytics/asp/Main.aspx?evt=3…> under Shared Reports>SWAN reports>Circulation Statistics. These reports have been created with date range prompts so you can define the exact dates for the reports.
We have created documentation explaining which reports are available and how to run them. Please see the attached document.
Happy Monday!

++ Please route to appropriate Circulation staff ++
It has come to our attention that an error in the Circulation Map may have assigned some DVD boxed sets (types DVD_BOXNEW and DVD_BOXSET) the wrong Circulation Rule if checked out any day between Friday, 2/10 and today. The items have been checking out for a two-week loan with a $2 fine rate. If this does not match your local policy, your items may have been affected.
This error was discovered and corrected today but will not be effective until tomorrow, Tuesday, 2/14 due to our nightly halt and run of the system. Please continue to monitor any checkouts and extend due dates appropriately, but be aware that any items returned late will generate a $2-per-day fine which must be manually adjusted.
We have run a list of affected checkouts from Friday, 2/10 to Sunday 2/12, paged by checkout/charging library. This document will not list any affected checkouts from today. Please view the attachment and find the tab along the bottom for your library. If you do not see your library's tab in the attachment, you were not affected by this error.
