Friday, August 1
3:15am ACORN down for 3 hours
6:00am Acorn Backup Server brought into
production. Acorn's URL, http://acorn.library.vanderbilt.edu
will now point to the backup server and staff will be able to
continue work with some exceptions. Staff will NOT need to
upgrade Workflows at this time. In general, during this period,
the following activities CAN be done:
-
Circulation (check-in, check-out, reports, etc.)
-
Cataloging (creating records, editing records, importing records
through smartport.)
-
Authorities (deleting, and editing)
-
Acquisitions (editing and creating records manually --no scripts
will run.)
Staff CANNOT perform activities that require scripting
utilities. These include the use of passport and automatic loading
of records from gobi, bna, and oclc. Once we have restored full
functionality on the production server (Monday, August 4, 6:00am),
we will load these records. This will probably occur before 8:00
am on the 4th.
Saturday, August 2
Staff continue using ACORN with restrictions noted
above.
Sunday, August 3:
Staff continue using ACORN with restrictions noted
above.
Monday, August 4:
6:00 am ACORN ready for full production
Staff can now return to
using ACORN with no restrictions. Workflows clients will be upgraded
automatically from the NAL window when launching the Workflows
software. Staff in Biomedical, Law, and Management libraries will
follow alternative upgrade paths. Please contact LITS if you have
any questions about this process.
