Friday 4pm status

Moving three library systems from an old server to a new server is a huge project with a lot of moving parts and all of the parts are not moving in the correct direction at this point.

We tested stuff in the restarted NHU-PAC and several things don't work. The most major of these is that the Holdings Maintenance module is not talking to the rest of the system.

I know people are anxious to get back to doing stuff in NHU-PAC, so we are going to leave the system partly up and running over the weekend.

Here's what you CAN do:

1 - search NHU-PAC

• there are duplicate record displays for lots of things, though not all  which is an outstanding issue to be looked at on Monday
• also, there are some weird random search errors popping up, resending the same search again seems to work though

 2 - search for stuff in the ILL system and place new requests

•  the same duplicate issue as in the NHU-PAC is showing up here, but we did a couple of complete transactions cycles and the requests seem to process ok

Here's what you CANNOT do:

 1- add records or holdings through holdings maintenance -- it has been shut down so it won't even display for you because it is not communicating with the database correctly.

-----------------------------------

We will be back to working on this on Monday morning.

If you observe odd stuff over the weekend -- especially a pattern to the search errors--please email your observations to the NHAIS Help Desk (nhu-pac@dcr.nh.gov)
