To All Library Staff:

As reported earlier today, the issues with dynamic indexing in Symphony have been resolved. This means that added records should be immediately searchable in Workflows as expected.

SWAN and SirsiDynix are continuing to make batch updates to records as part of our migration cleanup. The large volume of these changes affects our overnight processes, which must run completely and in a specific sequence for Workflows and Enterprise to function correctly. In order to prevent these processes from running too long (effectively getting in each other’s way), updated records will be run through the processes in sized nightly batches over several days. What this means for library staff is that some changes that have taken place in Workflows may not be picked up in Enterprise as quickly as expected.

We have also seen On-Order items back in the Onshelf Item Wizard today, which we think was related to the indexing issues we saw today, and anticipate will be resolved tomorrow.

We have seen a number of tickets come in with example barcodes, control numbers and/or screenshots, which have been very helpful in identifying and resolving issues. Thank you all again for your reports. Please continue to send reports and questions to help@swanlibraries.net or open a ticket at http://swan.railslibraries.info/otrs/customer.pl.
