SWAN Member Library Staff: This morning, we experienced spike in the Symphony Production server load average that caused many clients to disconnect from WorkFlows. The runaway processes have been corrected, and the system is now operating as expected. We apologize for the inconvenience and do not anticipate additional spikes for the remainder of the day. Staff may now resume using WorkFlows. Thanks again for your patience.

WorkFlows Update Prompt Following Upgrade to 3.5.1.1
by Steven Schlewitt 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

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
