SWAN Member Library Staff--
I wanted to update everyone on the status of the new server supporting Symphony. The SWAN
IT has been updating the support website throughout the day, so make sure to keep this URL
open and refreshed throughout the day tomorrow.
Server Migration Update:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2018-12/66379
The good news
This server is well-provisioned and responding in the way we expected. Libraries will be
happy with the difference once we have stabilized our configuration.
We have positioned ourselves for Symphony to be stable for the rest of the evening. *Start
your Tuesday as normal, and watch for updates via SWANcom and the SWAN support website.*
The bad news
Throughout the day today, SWAN's Symphony server experienced huge spikes in server
load which caused WorkFlows connections to drop. We have identified a probable cause
related to the SIP2 service.
The SIP2 service SWAN provides libraries is well over 100 connections. These are
connections to self-checks, automated material handlers, PC Reservation, MyPC, etc. We
regret that these systems have been affected by the server migration. We are examining the
SIP configuration library by library, and have randomized the reactivation of SIP
connections as we work through them.
Acquisitions Symphony Reports remain disabled today, but we are looking towards allowing
these reports to be run after we regroup in the morning.
Support staff will continue to monitor the system throughout the evening.
Thank you for your patience and we appreciate your support.
