NOBLE is pleased to announce the network is upgrading to Evergreen release 3.12 overnight on Tuesday, June 11.
Downtime Information
- The tentative upgrade window is Tuesday June 11 between 9:00 pm and 12:00 am.
- We will add messaging to the public catalog 1 week prior to the upgrade.
- This upgrade will be much smaller than our previous one back in January. Because of the timing and reduced actual database downtime, we will not be building a backup authentication server.
- During the downtime window, the following will be unavailable:
- Circulation and other staff functions
- Web catalog
- Patron self services like placing holds, renewals and signing up for ecards
- Authentication via SIP2 (Overdrive, selfcheck, Hoopla, museum pass, EZproxy etc.) will be unavailable for a portion of the upgrade window.
Previewing 3.12
NOBLE staff can log into the training system to get a first-hand look at release 3.12, which we will be using for training and testing the new release. Here’s how to login and set search preferences for the old and new versions of the staff catalog: Logging Into the Training System.
- Please let us know if there are newer staff who can’t access the training system so we can add their accounts.
- The training system contains a snapshot of NOBLE data so there are holds, overdue, bills, etc., with all patron information anonymized.
- Feel free to test things, including adding, editing or removing patron, title or item information. Anything you add or change will be gone the next time we update the snapshot for the training system. Nothing will transfer to the production (live) system.
