We have received notice that a patch has been released for iMIS 10. This patch corrects a problem with some transactions. We have not experienced many of these problems, but must install the patch anyway. We will notify everyone in advance when we are ready to install the patch.

The Knowledge Management System was upgraded in January. Users no longer need to provide their context in order to log in. The next phase of development will include system-wide search capability, expanded browse capabilities, the ability to register for training via the KMS, and the new request/response system (aka Feedback Form). Disaster recovery call trees will also be included.

Following the iMIS upgrade (September 19), it was discovered that changes in member profiles made via the website were not being written to the iMIS database. While the changes were not lost, subsequent visits to the member profile did not reflect any changes. The problem has been fixed and all changes have been processed. We are also working on a number of custom reports that no longer worked after the upgrade. We are now in a position to upgrade as new releases become available.

iMIS was successfully upgraded to version 10.6 on September 19th. The upgrade was delayed several days because an interim upgrade was required by ASI (the system manufacturer) in order to avoid data loss during the main upgrade. Some iMIS-to-Web incompatibilities were discovered early on and corrected the day after the upgrade took place. Staff are still working through some issues with reports from iMIS. Staff have been attending iMIS refresher sessions throughout the month. Implementation of installment payments for dues is next up.
