Training Day

We began training today on our servers. Not surprisingly before noon we had the system go down. The Oracle database was not responding. A quick phone call to Sirsi and a halt and run of the servers brought it back up. We would see this problem again and again throughout the training. The culprit appears to be the communication through the firewall between out application and database servers. Knowing the problem and fixing it are two different things. We are looking at all possible solutions and already have a plan so this does not interfere with future training sessions. Other than that the training went very well. The software is as intuitive as I had hoped and it should not take much effort to get all of the libraries’ staffs up and running on it.
