Upcoming Enterprise and Web Services Upgrade/Downtime Wednesday, March 21st, 3 a.m. - 9 a.m.?

SWAN Member Library Staff: 

SWAN has scheduled an upgrade to Enterprise 5.0 and the latest version of Web Services. This upgrade is required to prepare for the responsive version of Enterprise, set for release later this year.

Improvements to Enterprise include:

  • Sort by author functionality in checkout history
  • Improved indexing speeds
  • Bug fixes for Safari browsers

We've scheduled the upgrade with SirsiDynix for Wednesday, March 21st at 2AM. This upgrade will require downtime of Web Services and Enterprise, estimated at 6 hours for:

  • All Symphony Web Services/Enterprise OPAC functions
  • Enterprise My Account functions (including payments)
  • Enterprise Search functions
  • BookMyne
  • MobileCirc (will only work in Offline Mode)
  • EDS & ERC
  • BLUECloud Analytics
  • ProPay

In preparation for the upgrade, updates to Enterprise profile themes will be made throughout the day on Tuesday, March 20th. These will include minor changes to colors and layout changes for detail displays of search results. In addition, Novelist will be temporarily disabled until the upgrade is complete.

Please note that Symphony WorkFlows and SIP2 will not be affected by this outage, so SIP2 devices can remain connected, SIP2 vendors (like ebook vendors) will continue to communicate, and WorkFlows Offline Mode will not be required for this outage. We'll also be posting a notice to the Enterprise OPAC homepages to inform patrons of the outage.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at help@swanlibraries.net or call 844-SWANLIB (792-6542).
