• UCLA (Andy) submitted the migration forms; ready to start running the migration tool soon.

• UCSF is working on matching the mapping field form with help from Laurie.

• UCM cannot do validation automatically so relying on Laurie for it.

• UCSC is planning to validate and update files on Friday. Running Java version 8 (Jeremy used v8 and it worked).

Lena

• Final forms and data are due 12/14.

• December and June are the most popular months for “go-live”. The servers are shared. There may be jobs running for the institutions who are preparing to go live which slowed down the servers. Is anyone still having slowness problems with extracting data? If so, update your SF case.

• Special meeting: 1/28 Scheduled Jobs

  • SILS staff are eager to start running jobs. This has become a hot topic on Basecamp.

  • You can’t set up jobs to run automatically during implementation. You have to ask ExL to do it for you.

  • EXL asked to use the Thurs Jan 28th meeting for this. PMs agreed.

  • Agenda will be created and posted on/by Jan 14th.

  • Will cover the scheduled jobs form and how to fill it out, how to request a job to be run, and discussion regarding decisions on NZ jobs and how they affect the IZs.

  • Schedule:

    • Thurs Jan 14th: Agenda posted by EXL for Scheduled Jobs meeting

    • Mon Jan 25th: Questions should be posted on Basecamp no later than the Monday preceding the Thurs meeting

    • Thurs Jan 28th: EXL hosts the Scheduled Jobs meeting

Q&A (recurring)

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

?

Carlo

• Nothing today.

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.
