Aleph Update: Reminder-HOLLIS/Aleph Unavailable/Service Pack Installation

Hello all,

This message will be of interest to all staff using HOLLIS/Aleph.

A reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, December 19, OIS will be installing a service pack that will update Aleph Version 18.01.  OIS will install the service pack during Tuesday morning's maintenance window.  HOLLIS/Aleph will be unavailable Tuesday, December 19, from 6:30 am - 7:00 am.  HULINFO will be notified when the public catalog and the Aleph client are again available.

Staff will need to accept new files when they log into Aleph tomorrow morning:

A. Log into Aleph via the Cataloging or Circulation Modules (NOTE: Do NOT log in via the Acquisition Modules; you will not receive the correct files if you use this module)
B. You will get an Aleph Version Check dialog box that will say "New Aleph Files are available, click 'OK' to continue to the Update Version window. In the Update Version window, click the 'Update All' button." Click the OK button on the Dialog box.
C. A GUI Update Version Window will appear on your screen showing you the files that will be added to your Aleph Client.  Click the Update All button to download the files.
D. Your Aleph client will reboot and the Aleph Password Dialog box will appear on your screen.  Type in your regular username and password, and you will be
able to begin work as usual.

If you do not receive the Aleph Version Check Dialog box, follow these steps to update your client:

A. Click on the ALEPH menu
B. Select Version Check from the ALEPH Menu
C. A GUI Update Version Window will appear on your screen showing you the files that will be added to your Aleph Client.  Click the Update All button to download the files.
D. Your Aleph client will reboot and the Aleph Password Dialog box will appear on your screen.  Type in your regular username and password, and you will be able to begin work as usual.

Supervisors should confirm with their staff that all users have received the updated files.

If you encounter any problems with updating your Aleph Client, please contact your IT department.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to keep the Aleph client up to date.

Thanks,

Patty
