Hi Brian, We are sorry to see you go!
Some additional things to consider include: - Turning off the ability of your Evergreen system to send email at all; some of the emails it can generate don't go through Action Trigger - Preventing any scheduled reports from running after the transition; you can do this by deleting all rows from the reporter.schedule table whose run_time is in the future - Updating circulation and hold policies on the Evergreen side to prevent new hold requests, loans, and renewals - If you've used Evergreen's SIP or Z39.50 servers, making sure they are turned off - Once you're past the point where you want to offer the Evergreen OPAC at all, setting up a redirect in Apache to the new catalog Regards, Galen On Wed, May 8, 2024 at 10:19 AM Brian Holda via Evergreen-dev < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > As these things go, we are actually migrating away from Evergreen (into > Alma).
