UPDATE SMS Text Notices Failing on 8/17, 8/18

08/18/2017 - 14:34 - by Vickie Totton

We have suspended all SMS notifications until SirsiDynix informs us they have resolved their issue. Patrons who would normally receive a text message for their notices will be notified via email if they have an email address in their record. If they do not have an email address they will receive a printed notice. Please note that hold pickup notices are not printed, so any patrons without email addresses in their records may not be notified for holds. 

The SMS notices that were sent last night and today successfully reached the SirsiDynix servers despite the SMS notices having not been successfully sent, causing WorkFlows to count them as sent.  Despite this, those users will not have received an email notice.

We will update you and resume SMS notices when SirsiDynix informs us they have a resolution.

We are also working on building lists of users affected by these failed notices so you can follow up with your patrons accordingly.  We will send updates to affected libraries as this data is collected and organized.

SMS Text Notices Failing on 8/17, 8/18

08/18/2017 - 14:31 - by Steven Schlewitt

 From the SirsiDynix support team:

SMS messages are currently not being sent out due to an issue on our SMS server. Messages coming from your server to ours are not being received by our SMS provider and sent on to your patrons.

You may want to use alternate methods of notification for your patrons that normally receive SMS messages, until we are able to get this resolved.

We do not yet know the cause or have a resolution, but are working on the issue and hope to have it corrected soon.  You can watch www.sirsidynixstatus.com for updates to the issue.  We will also post updates in the SDSC Messages and Alerts as they become available.

Until SMS texting has been restored, you may want to use alternate notification methods for your patrons that normally receive SMS messages. 

Our deepest apologies.

*Important*: Bug Identified in MobileCirc Offline Mode

08/10/2017 - 11:12 - by Ian Nosek

SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff:

SirsiDynix has identified a bug in MobileCirc that prevents uploading of offline transactions to Symphony.

This bug only impacts MobileCirc in Offline Mode – Regular MobileCirc functions are still working properly when a live internet connection (LTE or wifi) is available.

Until this issue has been resolved, please avoid using MobileCirc in Offline Mode.

 

We will send a follow up once this issue has been resolved.

Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE Charge/Checkout Wizard Stress Test

08/10/2017 - 10:12 - by Vickie Totton

The setting to display existing checkouts, holds, and/or bills in the Charge/Checkout wizard was turned on this past Tuesday. SWAN IT did not see a negative impact on the server and we did not receive any reports of slowdowns. We are going to leave this setting on and continue to monitor the server. Please continue to report any issues you may experience with WorkFlows.
