FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Upgrade to Symphony – the upgrade to Release 3.2.1, also known as Symphony, is still being planned for the evening of May 12. We will work on it through the night so that we are up on the new release the morning of May 13. Please stay tuned for more instructions which will be published via the s-help list in the coming days and weeks.

Offline – it is a good idea to review your Offline procedures. You may find the procedures on the Sirsi Resource page of the old CCS web site

under Documentation, titled “Offline Users Guide.”

PATCH CLUSTER 4:
We are looking at installing Release 3.2.1 Patch Cluster 4 next week so we can test it before we do the upgrade on the Production Server. The Patch Cluster is small, but does address a couple irritants, and since it involves a Java Client upgrade, we’d like to minimize the inconvenience by bundling it with the May 12 server upgrade. If/when we do that, it may mean turning off the optional features we’ve turned on for testing, at least temporarily. We’ll provide further word before we proceed.
