[sims] SIMS Summer 2014

Please tell me you're going to take SOLUS 2 and open source it so we can keep on using it

..or you could package each update into an MSI

 

Nothing like that, It's more training on anything from using a mouse to how to decorate a wedding or novelty cake... both of which I can do.

Just done the new summer update - it fixes the assessment manager issues, but the custom report definition we have that worked up until we deployed the first summer release is still giving wrong output for us. So time to ring Capita and see whether they think there's a bug somewhere or a change in behaviour that was planned.

@PhilNeal told me last year that MSI and patch updates are coming soon. My guess is that this will be Solus 3.8, which I know has some new inline patching features...

Cool - enjoy. I'm sure you'll be back, just like matt40K - he SIMSply cant resist

 

HAHA!!! My mistake wasn't moving far enough anyway, my new team is on the other side of the room - I can still hear them moaning!!

they wouldn't give me a new team, so I'm off to find one

[matt40k]

Yer, its like my dad and tea. If I put the kettle on he appears.

I'm afraid that we came unstuck with producing MSIs. We employed a specialist company but they failed to deliver.

I'm not volunteering, it's not my area of expertise. I'll bake you a capita cake :-) Wheat & Gluten free. :-)

Eeeek, Im sure that has cost them some! Looks like the new patch functions in Solus 3.8 will be better anyway...and the new deployment handling too.

 

Ooooh @creese...cake....

Has anyone had this distributed to you yet? I got told it wont be until the summer holidays.

[localzuk]

Yup. Was deployed here by our support team on Friday night.

Yeh installed last night.

 

Other than Solus 3 deployment issues it is fine.

[IT_Man_Dan]

Morning,

 

I ran the updates last night through Solus 3 and this morning they all say successful, however, looking through the deployment history there was no workstation deployments and all our workstations are still running 7.156 not 7.159? Am I right in thinking they should be running 7.159???

 

Thanks

[IT_Man_Dan]

Ignore my last post, when checking I noticed that although it said successful it had no deployment targets. Ran it again and it's now deploying to everything.

 

Cheers

Would you allow the posting/redistribution of SIMS client MSI to edugeek?

[matt40k]

Considering most of Capita business logic is client side, ie their intellectual property, I doubt they would want it posted on a public forum for anyone to download. You might have a better chance if you say SupportNet. Still unlikely to happen however.
