by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Library Staff: Please be aware, this evening we will be performing maintenance on the SirsiDynix Symphony WorkFlows Test server at 5pm. At that time, you will be disconnected from any open WorkFlows Test server sessions, and the Test server will be inaccessible for several minutes. We expect the entire maintenance to take no longer than 10 minutes, after which the server will be online and available for the remainder of the evening.

Extended Due Dates effective today, 3/16/15

by Samantha Dietel

Hi all, As part of the migration process, libraries are required to use SirsiDynix Symphony Offline beginning April 11th until we are live on Symphony, sometime on April 14th. SirsiDynix recommends that no one check in materials while on Offline. In order to cut down on the number of items due back during this time period, due dates will be extended system-wide so that items should not be due back from April 6th, 2015 through April 19th, 2015. This morning, SWAN has begun extending due dates for items that would normally circulate for 21 days. This involves the implementation of an absolute due date of April 20th, 2015. As of 10:30 AM this morning: * Items that normally receive a 21-day loan period should now checkout with a due date of 4/20/15. Please note that items with holds may receive due dates that exceed 4/20/15. * All items that receive this absolute due date are non-renewable. Staff should override at the desk when appropriate and/or check in and check back out. Please note that patrons will be unable to renew said materials via the WebPAC. * The week of March 30th, SWAN will revert these edits so that materials will naturally fall on due dates of 4/20/15 and beyond. Once the changes are reverted, materials should check out and renew as expected and staff intervention will no longer be necessary. SWAN will continue to update loan rule parameters as we get closer and closer to the migration so that what is stated above continues to hold true. On Monday, 3/23/15, 14-day loan periods will be affected. We understand that this is not a perfect solution and apologize for any confusion and/or inconvenience as we continue to try and find a more efficient workflow. Thank you all for your understanding and patience. Please send any questions to migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net>.

clerical error in email address

by Kate Boyle

Everyone- There was an error in migration memo #11. The email address in the Patron Purge area of the memo was typed incorrectly and not caught by spell-check. It should appear as usual migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net> My apology. Thank you for your understanding. Patron Purge We are planning on running a Patron purge to update the patron database before we migrate the patron (user) data to SirsiDynix. Our test report indicates that if we purge good patrons that have been inactive for three years and have no money owed we would be deleting 130,000 patron records. Our plan is to purge these patrons before the end of the month. However, if you would want to include any of your patrons and owe less than $5.00 or $10.00 (and have been inactive for three years or more), please send your request before April 1st to migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net> .

Important Note: Migration Memo #12: SirsiDynix WorkFlows 3.5GA Installer

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff: Please be aware - since we have not yet migrated our Symphony Test Server to version 3.5GA, you may receive a version mismatch notification with a prompt to update your client under the following circumstances... 1. You have already upgraded your WorkFlows client to 3.5GA and are attempting to login to the Test Server (Test is on 3.5B) 2. You have not yet upgraded your WorkFlows client to 3.5GA and are attempting to login to the Production Server (Production is on 3.5GA) In both of these scenarios, please ignore the update prompt (click "no" or "okay") and continue with your work as usual. We will be cloning our Production Server to Test again this weekend, during which all server versions will match at 3.5GA. After the clone, if you have not already updated your clients to 3.5GA, both servers will prompt you. Please continue to ignore the prompts from WorkFlows, and perform SWAN's installation as soon as possible prior to the March 31st deadline.
