WorkFlows Update Prompt Following Upgrade to 3.5.1.1

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library & Information Technology Staff: We've received several inquiries over a persisting "update needed" prompt after completing the upgrade to WorkFlows 3.5.1.1. While the issue appears to be sporadic, we have released a patched MSI package that will ensure it does not occur with any installations moving forward. * If you haven't already completed the upgrade installations at your library, please only perform the installation using the latest MSI provided on the support site below. https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/software-downloads * If you've already completed upgrades and are experiencing the "update needed" prompt, we've released a quick patch that should resolve the issue without uninstalling/reinstalling. You can also find that patch on our support site, as the "StampFileCorrection.zip" https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/software-downloads * If you have already completed your installations, but have not experienced the "update needed" prompt, no further action is necessary - your workstations are upgraded and ready for use. (Don't forget to submit a formsite survey from the link below) https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/form218/index.html Steven Schlewitt SWAN IT Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5130 Fax: 630.734.5056 steven.schlewitt(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:steven.schlewitt@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

The issue is now resolved. It appears to have been unrelated to this morning's upgrade, but rather, due to a large report that was stuck in formatting.

A banner will be posted to the Enterprise homepage to notify patrons. Similarly to past ILS server upgrades, a new WorkFlows client will be required to take advantage of the new features and bug fixes; however, this client upgrade is not required until AFTER the server upgrade has been completed on 7/12. Following the upgrade and go-live on 7/12, your current 3.5.0 WorkFlows client will continue to function as expected - you simply will not have access to the new features and bug fixes.

This setup MSI will also uninstall previous versions of WorkFlows automatically.

We request that you install this client after we’re live on 3.5.1.1 on 7/12, but no later than 8/12. - Early installation of the 3.5.1.1 MSI will not cause issues, although users will be prompted to downgrade their WorkFlows version when attempting to access our Production server (which is not necessary – this prompt can be ignored and they can still access the Production server). - If you do happen to click the "Update now" button, you may need to uninstall/reinstall your WorkFlows client later on for access to specific SWAN features. A few specific advantages to the new Symphony 3.5.1.1 version include the following: - Inventory Item Wizard no longer incorrectly updates the Last Activity Date of an item - Signature pads now support additional languages, including Spanish and Polish, based on the patron’s set language preference - WorkFlows client runs on an updated Java JRE, improving security and reliability of the application - WorkFlows toolbars have additional font and icon sizing settings for better visibility If you have any questions about the upgrade or encounter issues, please contact SWAN Support at 630.734.5153, or submit a ticket via email through help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. An additional SWANcom with a link to the 3.5.1.1 client and installation documentation will be sent on 7/11. ________________________________ Source URL: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2016-07-07/important-upcoming-ils-up…
