[Yulcat-l] Connexion Client Update Messages tomorrow (Tuesday May 25)

[Arakawa, Steven]

For those using the Connexion Client, we expect there will be a prompt to download files due to a recent update to the OCLC workforms beginning tomorrow. (Some of you may have seen the announcement on the Message of the Day late Friday afternoon)  Workstation Support is recommending that you use the Remind me later option for now. Ernie is expected back June 1.

[Steven Arakawa] Since this is rather short notice, use the "Remind me later" option for now; Workstation Support will consider how to roll this out when Ernie gets back. Thanks for your patience.

Connexion client:

*         Beginning at approximately 12:00 noon Eastern Daylight Savings Time on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, Connexion client users will be prompted when they start the Connexion client software to download new files that will include changes to the dropdown lists for fixed field elements.  The window with the prompt is labeled "New Components Available."  You may need Administrative Privileges on your workstation to download the files to your "C:\ProgramFiles\OCLC\Connexion\Program" directory (or its equivalent), so it would be a good idea to check about that first.

*         When you get the prompt, click "Yes" to download the files immediately or "Remind me later" if you do not wish to download right away.  The client does not send any confirmation of the download, however, you will be prompted to download the files each time you open Connexion client until you complete the download.

*         If you do not receive the prompt, shut down the Connexion client completely, rather than just logging off.  When you open the client again, the prompt should appear.

*         If you do not receive the prompt to download, continue to receive the prompt repeatedly, or have other problems downloading the new files, please contact OCLC Product Support and Training at 1-800-848-5800, support at oclc.org<mailto:support at oclc.org>, or http://www.oclc.org/us/en/supportandtraining/.  Product Support staff will provide you with assistance, including the files to be downloaded and instructions on manual downloads.

*         In Connexion client, new indexes and new or changed language qualifiers will not appear in search screen dropdown lists, but may be input manually via the command line.  The search screen dropdown lists of indexes and language qualifiers will be updated in a future version of the Connexion client, tentatively scheduled for the 2010 or early 2011.

Please forgive duplication of this message.
