Questions from slack

1. Are we concerned that we don't have 24x7 coverage until we move to next phase?  Assume that is what other migrations experienced, how did it go?

Other / Homework

Tom

• From 3/18: Lynne will create a ticket on BC about the slowness issue some campuses are experiencing in NA07. Others will chime in. As of 3/25: No update from ExL on this.

Q&A (recurring)

Q&A during the IC meeting as a first stop before asking a question on Basecamp.

If it’s time-sensitive, post to slack (IC channel, SILS Chairs are good options)

Any issues that we want to seek broader input from other consortia?

TBD

Carlo

Questions for Ex Libris PM (recurring)

Post questions in Basecamp as they come up. It’s open 24/7!

Note: We lose in efficiency and we may lose in translation when questions go through the PMs. When topics come up that should logically go to Basecamp to the Ex Libris consultants, invite an IC (or appropriate person) to take point on that issue.

Answers from Marci 3/25:

Slow response on Basecamp

Q: When will ExL be answering questions posted to Basecamp on the integrations list? Alison posted a question quite a while ago.

A: Marci reviews outstanding tasks on Fridays with the team. ExL is attentive to the integrations list for questions. If you are not getting any response, post to the original question as a poke to get ExL’s attention.

Primo VE instance for Workshop

• Q: What is the deadline for deciding which Primo VE instance will be used?

  • A: I would suggest 2 weeks prior to the Workshop start (by April 30)

• Q: Will ExL make live config changes during training? (this may influence who volunteers)

  • A: Yes - but they don't have to be permanently saved (they can be reverted back on the spot)

  • A: You also have the option of us using the sandbox environment.

  • A: There’s an advantage to being the demo since ExL can make desired changes for you as they are working.

UCD Escalation (3/17)

Status as of 3/25: “The Migration team was working on copying their live environment to the AMO's implementation environment over this past week - so they can work on it and test proposed fixes to it. We expect additional updates on their progress and next steps next week.”

• (From 3/18 meeting with ILSDC) For post-go-live data cleanup work, create a plan (with estimates of the scale of work, timeline). Ask ExL to review it. Ask if ExL can do a scheduled job in our instance for us? (if that’s desired) Suggestion to setup a special meeting with ExL to discuss the SCP records. Catherine will provide the data/numbers and reach out to Tom & Carlo for next steps

• Primo VE workshop (week of May 17): which environment to use for training?

  • Will they make live config changes during training? Yes - but they don't have to be permanently saved (they can be reverted back on the spot.)

  • Marci suggests we decide by 2 weeks prior to the Workshop start (by April 30)

• (If needed) Best practices/guidelines for APIs.

• TBD: Buddy system (Adrian Petrisor, Com Leads) Timing: after spring workshops, if there’s interest
