<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Library IT and the Yale ASpace committee have set <b>Monday January 11</b> as the date of the production upgrade to ASpace. This will upgrade ASpace from a very old version custom to Yale, to the
<b>latest core release</b> of ASpace, version <b>1.4.2</b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This upgrade has been completed twice at YUL on local DEV and TEST instances as preparation for the production run. Both Library IT and the ASpace committee have participated in these two upgrades to help eliminate any risks or unknown
implementation issues. Although this isn’t significant amount of notice, the committee and staff have been eagerly anticipating this version of ASpace. It resolves several key issues in the client and also introduces more robust reporting. It is also beneficial
to move into a core release of ASpace, as most community members are on this standard version. Some of you have already used the new version, when you tested the Lyrasis hosted instances of our ASpace database last November & December.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <b>upgrade will begin Monday at 10am</b>. Library IT anticipates the upgrade will
<b>continue into the late afternoon</b>. Please note that during this time, the <b>
Aeon-ASpace addon will not be available</b>. This primarily impacts MSSA Aeon requests. We anticipate the interruption will be less than a day as noted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you need to use ASpace early in the morning on Monday, please save your work regularly. The system will be taken offline at 10am.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please email me or the committee if you have any questions. Thank you for your help in preparing for this upgrade. Additional updates will be sent to the yulaspace list as the upgrade progresses.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
