Please do not attempt to use the shared environment until this page is finalized

Environment details

  • URL:
  • Logon and Users:
  • How to set up your own logon:

Requirements

  • Available to Data Import, Data Export, and quickMARC SMEs and POs for testing the above modules, plus Inventory Single Record Import
  • Will be kept in sync with the latest released version of FOLIO, so currently Kiwi + Hotfix 1-2
  • Users should set up individual logons and passwords, so that it's easier to tell who is doing what
  • No SRS or Inventory data to begin with, except default settings
  • Includes all of the apps and modules required for Data Import (importing SRS, Inventory, and Invoice records), Export, and quickMARC
  • Relevant apps and modules are updated on a regular basis (with bugfixes/hotfixes or with the new flower release)
  • Import/Export profiles created by users persist over time
  • Records imported by users persist over time (until request to purge them)
  • Settings created/updated by users persist over time
  • Environment can be purged (typically only the Inventory, SRS, Import/Export log data)

Out of Scope

  • Performance testing of large files of records (separate temporary, environments can be created for performance testing, or bugfest environments) 
  • UAT for versions currently in development

Outstanding To Do's

  • Items in red need to be addressed before environment is rolled out to SMEs
  • Post URL Info (A-M)
  • Configure password reset e-mails (Kitfox)
  • Test user password reset e-mails (A-M)
  • Update the env to Kiwi apps (Kitfox) (A-M)
  • Once updated to Kiwi, Inventory needs to be re-indexed (Magda)
  • How often are the apps updated? (Tue to the most recent release)
  • When will the environment start showing Lotus work? upon Lotus release
  • We think the main users will be SMEs and POs for Data Import, quickMARC, and Data Export. When can we let them begin using it? TBD
  • Any additional guidelines we need to provide to them?
  • If a user builds a profile, how long can we expect that it will be kept? Until manually purged
  • Is there a maximum number of records we'd like set as a limit for SRS and Inventory?  Strive to keep Inventory under 50K Instances; aim for small imports; this is NOT the performance testing environment; this is functionality testing.
  • If the environment is wiped, is it possible to keep the Settings, Reference data, and Users? Can the dev teams do the wipe, or do we need FOLIO Kitfox?
  • Create a draft "purge" Jira for Kitfox to get rid of Inventory, SRS data, Import jobs, Export jobs, but not any settings; once that is done, have KF re-index Inventory
  • If issues with this environment, who do SMEs contact and how?
  • Above all, this is a learning environment for all of us, so patience required
