Resolved: Issues with statuses in the catalog

by SWAN Communications

Good morning and thank you for your patience, The issues with our exports to the catalog have been resolved, but you will notice discrepancies in the online catalog until a full index runs overnight. Our indexes are now correctly processing item status changes and record updates, and any changes made after 9AM this morning, July 7th, will update in the catalog. The backlog of records will be processed overnight, and everything should be current tomorrow. We will continue to monitor our indexing and update the known issue on the support site: https://support.swanlibraries.net/issue/94908 SWAN Library Services 915 Harger Road, Suite 260, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

Long-Running Overnight Maintenance Report

by SWAN Communications

SWAN Member Library Staff: We’re currently monitoring a long-running overnight maintenance report, ADUText, which is creating delays to the morning report schedule. As ADUText and the subsequent overnight maintenance reports continue processing, you may encounter several errors: * “Heading keys need to be indexed” when accessing an item record * Item records are unsearchable by title (but can be accessed by Standard Number) * Various general indexing errors when accessing or attempting to catalog item records Records should continue to be searchable in Aspen and any WorkFlows errors should resolve once overnight processing concludes. And We apologize for these delays and will send an update as soon as the reports conclude. Thank you. SWAN Library Services 915 Harger Rd. Suite 260 - Oak Brook IL 60523 Email: help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Phone: 844-SWANLIB (844-792-6542) https://support.swanlibraries.net/
