API Timeouts

sum up:

IVEA’s call to ExL timed out (no connection) between 17:39:38 UTC to 19:50:45 UTC. resulted in ‘insufficient patron info’ in ILL requests in VDX, requiring manual handling by ILL staff

 

 

 

We had a significant number of timeout errors yesterday. How do we want to proceed? Ticket # 07969585

  • Not a DNS issue

  • Attempt to connect failed (no messages back from the service) = problem in the network anywhere

  • Therefore an effort to troubleshoot is really hard and not worth it (on our end).

Recap of Identify Job

How the identify job went

How much should we discuss with Ex Libris?

Next steps

Postmortem

TJ is working on reviewing the resulting set.

Gem will update current ticket and file a new one for RCA.

WIPT

 

 

 

Updates

What tools should these subteams have access to? Probably Google SILS drive? (YES - at least to their own folders in WIPT.)

Slack? Not for now.

Listserv seems overkill for teams of three (CONCUR).

Do they need their own Confluence spaces? (NO)

Let’s get the final list of nominees and add to GDrive (WIPT) space.
