Bit of everythingreally class groups, rooms, staff but at a basic level.

Ideally wanted to stay away from Nova T6, it would be overkill for what the school requires and that would be fun and games to support!

Does anyone use or have any recommendations for a primary school wanting to potentially do a timetable? The school use SIMS as their MIS system. Many Thanks

I have had this at a school - Had Capita connected and they couldn't fix it or tell me why. So ended up just migrating manually.

According to the technical road Map for SIMS its Autumn 2014. We have the same dilemma here, does anybody know if you buy the 2014 SQL licence if it covers use for SQL 2012? Or would you have to buy a licence for 2012 & then one for 2014?

We are getting an error message at 2 secondary schools in SIMS "Error creating windows handle. :SystemComponentModel.Win32Exception" this is occurring at random times and usually in personnel & Cover, but is also in other areas of SIMS. We have tried all options received from Capita but with no luck, they have now said this is an environmental issue so they cannot help with this any further as its "windows handles" building up due to the machine not being rebooted regularly - this is not the case the users machines are rebooted every night and we have also tested rebooting the machines during the day but the error occurs within 20 minutes. The other option they gave was to give the user more RAM however the users already have 4GB and it's not an option to increase this. The machines have been rebuild, SIMS re-installed (by ourselves and Capita)and the paging file increased but with no such luck. Any Suggestions would be much appreciated.

We have recently had the this issue at one of our schools. They have recently merged and the user had gone into an old SIMS database then logged into FMS, the school links FMS & SIMS causing FMS to try and Sync with the old database. Capita created a site specific patch for us to resolve this issue. Hope this helps
