[opal_migration_leads] Week of 9/9 OPAL Migration Digest

[Heidi Beke-Harrigan]

Good afternoon,

Here's this week's digest related to the Alma migration -

There are fewer meetings and no new training assignments this week as we enter the Transition to Build phase of the project.
Upcoming Meetings & Due Dates:

  *   The next OhioLINK LSP Milestone Update is scheduled for September 10 at 3-4 PM. Please register here<https://oh-tech.webex.com/weblink/register/r31c7250eeb63173541e7e7213dd80732>.
  *   OhioLINK/Ex Libris Project Leads Meeting: Introduction to Transition to Build Phase, September 12 from 1 - 2 pm.

Next Steps:
Ex Libris shared they intend to roll out test environment access the week of Sept. 16. The call on September 19th (Using Alma for Data Review) will provide additional details and outline next steps as we begin the testing phase.

The plan is that OPAL credentials will be provided to OhioNet, and we will configure and distribute user roles to project leads. This will help streamline the process since the role assignments in Alma are more complex than in Sierra. You will then have some time to familiarize yourselves with the Alma environment and determine which additional users and roles you would like to set up for data review.

Initially, everyone will spend a few weeks reviewing data before any adjustments are made. To reiterate Ex Libris and OhioLINK instructions - once you receive access to your environment, please do not make any changes to data or configurations until you are given the go ahead!

Training:
There are no new training assignments this week.
To prepare for the data testing phase you might want to start compiling a list of the key functions and associated record examples that are critical for the go-live date. Initial configuration changes should prioritize those areas first before moving on to the finetuning of other issues.


Best,
Heidi
