*Reminder* RAILS/SWAN Planned Network Outage on Fri, Feb 3rd at 11pm

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library & Information Technology Staff: Just a quick reminder of tonight’s planned ICN network outage at 11pm. Please see additional details in the post below. Should the outage require additional downtime that will affect morning staff, we’ll submit further updates via SWANcom. Thank you, Steven Schlewitt Information Technology Manager steven(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:steven@swanlibraries.net> • 630-326-5993 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://www.swanlibraries.net/> • catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/> From: swancom-bounces(a)list.swanlibraries.net [mailto:swancom-bounces@list.swanlibraries.net] On Behalf Of webmaster(a)swanlibraries.net Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 4:56 PM To: swancom(a)list.swanlibraries.net Subject: [SWANcom] RAILS/SWAN Planned Network Outage on Fri, Feb 3rd at 11pm Message from sender: From the SWAN Support Website: Published on SWAN (https://support.swanlibraries.net) ________________________________ RAILS/SWAN Planned Network Outage on Fri, Feb 3rd at 11pm 01/31/2017 - 16:56 - by Steven Schlewitt SWAN Member Library Staff: We've received notice from RAILS and ICN that network maintenance is scheduled for a provider site in Chicago this Friday, February 3rd, beginning at 11pm. The maintenance and associated outage is expected to last no longer than 20 minutes. 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-11:20pm 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. ________________________________ Source URL: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2017-01-31/railsswan-planned-network…

SVA Failed Calls Reports dating 1/24 and back

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff: During a regular purge of finished system reports this morning, all SVA Failed Call Reports were mistakenly removed from the Symphony server. Future reports will continue to populate in Finished Reports, as expected, but archived reports from today and back have unfortunately been removed from the server. Fortunately, I and several SWAN staff do have archived email copies of these reports that we'd be happy to send out to libraries that may need them. By the end of the day, I'll be sending last night's failed call reports to any libraries having failed SVA calls on Tuesday. These reports will be delivered to the library's associated aliased email address (aaa(a)notices.swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaa@notices.swanlibraries.net>). If you need any specific SVA failed call reports dating back beyond Tuesday, however, please send us a request at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> and we'll send along the archived report asap. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
