SEPTEMBER 10, 2010

FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Indexes – we had wanted to rebuild our indexes over the Labor Day weekend, but were unable to proceed due to trouble with the tape drive when we were backing up files. The tape drive has been fixed but we will delay this procedure in order to provide more time to study the overall situation with SirsiDynix.

DIRECTOR’S STATION PEFORMANCE IMPROVES:
Director’s Station access is now better after 10:00 a.m. After bumping up 3 reports from WorkFlows, data manipulation in our Director’s Station server finishes 45 minutes earlier or about 9:30 a.m instead of 10:15 a.m. Our Director’s Station server then re-starts the services to free up system memory for us to use during our visit to the application. Just remember that when the re-start of services is performed your access will be disconnected. Go back and reconnect, hopefully, this time for a better connection.

Bumping up these reports and freeing up system memory made a little difference in accessing DS after 10 a.m. Willie was at HUK September 1, 2010 and experienced the access improvement to DS during the DS training session. Please note that we can still access or create reports before 10 a.m, but should anticipate some slow connectivity.
