Astra Weekly Update
This week Astra has taken a back seat to the database upgrade, but still things are moving forward. We imported and activated the Fall 2008 term from Banner into Astra, and the class schedulers are busy working out the class schedule for that term. Astra did it's thing beautifully. The events side has moved forward, and we have two open requests with Astra support to help Jill get her event confirmation form into an acceptable state. Also, the confirmation form is printing out a lot more equipment reservation items than Jill wants, so we're trying to figure out a way to fix that annoyance, too. We did manage to get the logo switched, so now our event confirmation doesn't look like it came from Astra - this is good. Configuration of the WUC rooms, equipment, customer types, and so forth is nearly complete. Also, Jill was able to meet with Jerry Lee and help get her started on the Library's configuration.
Once again, the system itself has worked really well. Oh yeah, in a weak moment I upped the number of allowed Astra sessions on the database from 3 to 8, but nobody called to say how much faster it is working yet. Once we move to the new 10g database I'll increase it even more.
