Hi all,

 

Can anyone confirm that they are using Discover?

 

Many thanks

We've got it installed and running ready for the first assessment data.

[Iain.Faulkner]

We're in the same boat, I have it installed on a handful of machines being tested by one of our Deputy Head's

[Stuart_C]

Yep. Looks cool. Some of the Pre-admin graphs don't work but I'll see what Capita say about it, it might be me...

[round2it]

yes testing stage in the main office

Not finding anything for that KB?

Where or how are you looking? By KB number it pops straight up, or do a search under SIMS .Net for "Discover" - it's near the bottom of the results, search for "discover iso" it's the second result.

It's entitled, "what is the url for discover".

PM with your supportnet username / email, and i can message you through there. Can't publish details here in public

[Edu-IT]

Got it, cheers. Is Discover actually a useable product now?

[PhilNeal]

Absolutely - I have one quote saying it's better than xxx. I didn't believe that however!

[Edu-IT]

Haha! We don't seem to have been given it yet to use. Why are we last on the wagon? :-D

 

Is there something LA support need to prepare?

[PhilNeal]

LAs that host SIMS aren't able to go live until the autumn release - that could be the problem.

[MYK-IT]

Meant to be getting installed here this week! (first i've heard of it )

We have SIMS installed locally. Surely we should be able to run with it then?

[PhilNeal]

From our point of view you should be OK to run with it. It is part of the curriculum suite. It could be your local team needs a little more time or they are waiting for the autumn release as this makes installs easier.

Just download it from SupportNet and install, it doesn't have to go on the SIMS server. You should be able to have a play.

[Edu-IT]

It needs an SQL database and stuff though right, and to be able to export data from SIMS, so SIMS server is best place for it? Also, there's a patch I think I need to run to clean the data?

[vikpaw]

No, i wouldn't overload the SIMS server with it. Test it on a separate box. If you have VMs then that's perfect. The cleaning patch is only for Spring release users. Stop putting it off and download the manual

Can I confirm that we dont need the patch if we are on 7.140? Edited October 24, 2011 by apeo

If your database is on Summer 2011 (7.140) then you don't need to run the patch.

Aye, Spring release only as far as i know.

[apeo]

I thought so just had to check.
