localzuk Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Scheduled for Tuesday night for us. Fingers crossed.
vikpaw Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Prob worth waiting until end of school and then leaving it as late as possible before results day.
localzuk Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Prob worth waiting until end of school and then leaving it as late as possible before results day. It's done overnight automatically by our LEA. Plus we don't do results day here, middle school. 😄
vikpaw Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Today's the day: [h=2]SIMS 2014 Summer Release update[/h] We have completed our investigations into the outstanding problems raised with the SIMS 2014 Summer release and can confirm that we will be issuing a new SIMS 2014 Summer release to resolve these issues. An updated SIMS 2014 Summer 2 (7.159) release will be made available by COB Monday 7th July. It will incorporate fixes for the following areas: Reporting Engine. Reports with a blank column in a sub report cause the report to error when it is run. Assessment Templates. Assessment Templates that are exported from the Summer release cannot be imported if the Template includes Aspects with supporting Result Sets. Assessment Reports. If an Individual Report is run with the option ticked for “Hide Rows with no Results”, the report will still display the row but it will be blank. Post 16 Return. The Post 16 return crashes if you select to open a Learning Activities record where the medium field for the Learning Activity is blank. We recommend that all sites upgrade to this release. We will be de-authorising the original Summer release from sites immediately to prevent them from upgrading to the incorrect version. We apologise for any inconvenience that this might cause. Regards, Jonathan Wood SIMS Product Manager (Technical and Releases)
creese Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Today's the day: What are the odds on a ver. 3 ? I just get that feeling...
vikpaw Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 What are the odds on a ver. 3 ? I just get that feeling... Not great, looking at previous form - there's no money to be made here.
creese Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Not great, looking at previous form - there's no money to be made here. Shame. I could do with some dosh... my last pay cheque at the end of the month.
MrMat Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Prey to the SIMS gods in the sky that they don't mess this one up! I've far too much to do as it is.
zag Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Nope Today is not the day.... more bugs found! Update 07/07/2014 We have successfully completed our work resolving the 4 fixes mentioned previously however we have decided to hold off releasing the Summer 2 update tonight whilst we investigate reports of failures with Timetable imports from Nova-T6. We are aware that many of you will want to complete your roll-out of the Summer release before the end of term but we hope you will understand that we cannot risk any errors in the timetable import at such a key time of year. I will post an update tomorrow morning (Tuesday) on SupportNet. We apologise for any inconvenience that this delay might cause.

elsiegee40 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 so excited to deploy... Excitement and deployment are not good together. I would go for boredom with deployment every time.
creese Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 My flabber is gasted. Not!! I think it is highly unlikely I will be here long enough to see this update live.
creese Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 [h=2]SIMS 2014 Summer Release update[/h] Update 08/07/2014 We have completed our investigations and have resolved ths problem. The ETA for the SIMS 2014 Summer 2 release is by COB today (Tuesday 8th July). I will post an update to Supportnet when it is complete. Regards, Jonathan Wood SIMS Product Manager (Technical and Releases) Next!!!
vikpaw Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Should we just tell him to post here instead? what number are we on now 3? i reckon we've got potential for some more...
creese Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Should we just tell him to post here instead? what number are we on now 3? i reckon we've got potential for some more... Could be a record.
minimoo Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 This will be the 2nd release - we'll be applying it tonight if it comes out. I'm hoping it gets released soon so I can deploy before the helpdesk go home for the day
winng Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I think I'll just keep watching and waiting until the dust settles. No rush to install Solus 3.7xxx or Summer 2014 yet.
vikpaw Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 There's dust everywhere! Technically this late bug will still mean it's only on release 2, as they never really re-released it, but it's 2.c 08/07/2014 – 17:28 A new issue has been discovered in Assessment Marksheets where a Nested ‘If then Else’ statement applied to a cell with no result will cause it to be shaded by the last statement in the formula. We are committed to resolving this as quickly as possible and will be working overnight in order to get an updated SIMS 2014 Summer release out to you tomorrow. I will post an update tomorrow AM confirming the time. Once again, we do apologise for any inconvenience that this delay might cause.
ful56_uk Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Anyone seen an issue where the tempdb in sql has blown up in size or is that just me?
