QUT Launches BONUS+

Go Live set for Wednesday 14 July Not successful. System-wide outage. Effected Webpac, Circ, ILL

and Program Registration – all down for entire day Possible option was to do a full system restore but gave III time to

fix problem Reason: Rel 2009A failed when interfacing with the deploy set

architecture – attributed to conflicts with Program Registration module

Resolution: Partial patch to Rel 2009B as the deploy set architecture more evolved. Full upgrade to 2009B done in September.

QUT Launches BONUS+ - Take 2

Trobe Commenced with 45,000 items and currently

increasing this to 100,000+ items located within the QUT Library Store

QUT Launches BONUS+

Some Issues: Changes were made to the BONUS+ login

screen as we use QUT authentication not PINS QUT has to link to http site not https because

of our Internet and authentication process Link to UNSW (InnReach link) stopped after

upgrade to 2009B but III forced a restart of this link)
