On the evening of August 30, Innovative will be updating the Millennium server to R2009B 1.1. There will be no downtime, but the first time after the update, the Millennium client will download new jar files.
For most OWLSnet libraries, the new jar files will be downloaded on Tuesday, August 31st.
The next time you log into Millennium, you may notice a small change in the display of items In Transit. Items that are going home still display as In Transit, but items that are going to another library to fill a hold now display as In Transit (Hold).
This is a relatively new display option that's available to us. Let me know what you think of it!

We're still dealing with several problems in the Millennium client, most likely related to the upgrade to 2009B. Innovative is aware of these, and is working on them. Here are the issues most likely to be affecting your library. (More details are available in the OWLSnet Manual at http://owlsnetmanual.pbworks.com/New-Releases-and-Upgrades.)
- Libraries are experiencing periodic freezing when accessing item or bibliographic records. The update today was installed in an attempt to fix this problem.
- My Lists has stopped working at least three times since the upgrade. No data was lost as far as we can tell, but we're not sure why it keeps stopping.
- Several libraries have reported that there have been times they were unable to access their paging lists in Millennium Notices. They received an error message of "Failed to retrieve information from the database.
R2009b includes a number of enhancements to My Lists in InfoSoup.
- It's now much easier to add an item to a list from the full record.
- Lists can be renamed
- Items can be moved from one List to another.
Tomorrow, June 16, Innovative will be installing a few updates to our system. These updates are intended to address a problem we're experiencing with the Millennium client stalling for a few seconds when attempting to access an item record.
There will be no downtime required for this update, and there should be no impact on performance. However, after the update, the Millennium client will need to download new jar files the first time a library logs in on each computer.
Just wanted you to know!

After the upgrade to R2009b, you may find that your printers are not working properly while printing holdshelf slips and transit slips. If so, resetting the printer settings in Millennium for these slips should solve the problem. Instructions to configure your printer settings are in the OWLSnet manual at:
