FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Check Dates - Summer is almost here. That means you should double check your closed dates when items are not due. Be sure that they are correct for the summer. If you need to make a change to your table of dates, please do so through the WonderDesk and leave ample lead time for the changes to be read into the server. At least a few days is always optimal.
SIP processes and SmartPort interruptions Wednesday - About 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon you reported that SIP processes and SmartPort transfers were interrupted. Thank you for your patience as we worked on this problem with SirsiDynix. They were able to have all features running normally by 6:00 p.m. We were able to attribute the outage to work that had been done earlier in the day for our annual security check. Those programs which we have run annually for many years, likely coupled with our current increase in SIP use, caused too many processes to occur. We have learned from this experience and will change the routine for next time.
Test System - On Thursday the test systems were down so that we could conserve cold air in the server room as we repair a gasket on our normal air conditioner.
