InfoSoup: June 2010 Archives
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.
At 5:30 PM, Tuesday June 8, the InfoSoup server was upgraded to Millennium R2009B. The upgrade took about an hour, and almost everything appears to be working well. (The one exception is High Demand Holds. Not only was it mysteriously renamed, it also doesn't work. A call has been placed with Innovative.) Note: As of June 9, High Demand Holds is working, although it's still named Hold Thresholds.
