SIMS Autumn Release (7.172) any problems?

[ahjaay]

Hi all,

 

Upgraded SIMS to the Autumn release this evening.

 

How is everyone getting on with it? Any known or bizarre issues cropped up?

 

Cheers

Installed it last weekend had no problems reported

[Meldrew]

Same here - all good.

Like wise - had it running a few weeks now - no issues.

Ecopy doesn't seem to work with it. Comes up an error message comapling about the time not being correct.

Only issues where Staff failed to log out of it as notified to them at the briefing before the update was launched!

There are some reports around suggesting that the macro signing that was implemented with a patch to the Summer release is now not working again.

I think I'm right in saying solus 3 deals with this :-)

Seems all good here, ran the upgrade and 20 machines failed with Solus.

 

No idea why, clicking on the solus icon and checking for update seems to have made it work.

There's a good half a dozen post-release patches.

Updated SIMS last night and went without a single issue.

SOLUS upgrade planned for tonight, that might be more fun....

It been deployed a week here, I had one machine that had to have SIMS reinstalled a day or so after the update - could be unrelated. Not a problem as such but I have noticed that the wrong academic year is displayed on the users home screen (although SIMS is actually using the correct year) apparently there is a patch being developed for this. Otherwise all good.

pushed it out last night and havent had any issues yet

I did my Solus update a few weeks ago. That way I can see any potential Solus issues without any downtime to SIMS

One good thing is Solus finally remembers the username and password for targets. Something I asked for a long time ago

I have just spoken to our SIMS support (not Capita) and they say it will be fixed in the next SIMS release @rob101
