Feedback re: FYRO discussions planning

Dung-Lan

  • Discussion on FY rollover and how to organize the conversation so it is of the most interest to everyone.

  • Kimberly Smith: Would like to talk about weather or not to encumber ongoing orders. Someone that hasn’t done FY Rollover may be interested in that topic.

  • Susanne Gill (BVB) 12:45 PM
    We have a small Group testing FYRO and I guess they would like to Exchange experiences…(they would prefer for the Meeting  to be on a Friday)

  • Scott Perry (UChicago) 12:46 PM
    I will run a trial on our test server during the next week

  • Ann Crowley 12:48 PM
    Our test for Poppy ran about the same maybe a little longer (re question about if it is the same amount of time in test vs production)

  • Ann Crowley 12:49 PM
    But ours doesn't take that long in general total 2-3 hours

  • Sara: Is interested in hearing about the prep work, pre reports, to find potential problems before doing the actual rollover… what are the checks you do after the roll

  • Lisa Smith, Mich State 12:52 PM
    Agree, Sara.  MSU does clean up work ahead of FYRO and we have things we do afterwards.

  • Suzette Caneda 12:52 PM
    Would like to know from those who have run it: 1) how long rollover took (and how many open/closed orders you had), 2) what kind of cleanup you've had to do before and after rollover

  • Ann Crowley 12:56 PM
    Cornell FYRO 4 ledgers, 415 funds, maybe 30K orders

  • Lisa Smith, Mich State 12:56 PM
    We also have very manual workarounds to find standing orders paid last year, but not yet this year.  Looking for encumbrance issues.

  • Scott Perry (UChicago) 12:56 PM
    1 ledger, ca 600 funds. 35-40k orders.

  • Scott Perry (UChicago) 12:57 PM
    Last test two weeks ago in orchid timed out at over 24 hours.

  • Discussion on when to have the meeting

  • Scott Perry (UChicago) 1:00 PM
    Could we do an exceptional meeting for those who are interested?

  • Joe Reimers (EBSCO) 1:00 PM
    Aren't all of our meetings exceptional? 😛
