Polaris TRAINING server upgrade to 7.6 on Monday, May 6th

May 6 2024

****  sent to odin-pks-libs ****

The Polaris software on the TRAINING server will be upgraded to 7.6 along with a refresh of data from the production server on Monday, May 6th.   Generally, the TRN server upgrade window will start around 6:30 AM and maintenance is completed by mid-morning.  The PRODUCTION POLARIS CLIENT will be unavailable for approximately 10-15 minutes around 7 am on May 6th due to the upgrade changes on TRN.  The upgrade should not affect Leap on PRODUCTION during that time.

For What's New in 7.6 please check III documentation portal page for details.  The document is also attached here for your convenience.

I expect there will be a webinar highlighting the changes in 7.6 but have not seen anything announced yet.  Items listed in the attached document include bulk waiving fines in Leap, support for in-line editing for MARC records in Leap, working with item template in Leap, and much more!  We will continue to watch for the webinar announcement and send out notification when we know time, date and registration link.

PRODUCTION upgrade to 7.6 will likely be in June or July.
