Detailed Implementation Schedule for Cornell Voyager Cut Over

May 10, 2000

Last Registrar update of student records to NOTIS patron file.
May 16, 2000 There will be no Course Reserve in NOTIS for summer session courses. Material will need to be circulated manually for reserve; units will need to provide paper lists of materials on reserve. There will be no indexing of course reserve records in NOTIS.
May 17, 2000 Bibliographic File, Vendor File Extracted from NOTIS

May 19, 2000

Last CU Human Resources update of staff/faculty records into our patron database.
New Library Card records (categories of OTHR, SUNY) will continue to be made.
Clean-up projects for patron file will be in progress.
May 30, 2000 Endeavor delivers Bib File, Vendor File to Cornell
May 31, 2000 Three Week Summer Session Begins. Summer picture ID cards issued but no online records. Manual Circulation will be used for these patrons.

June 6, 2000

Endeavor extracts patron records from Cornell.
Last date for any Library Card (cards purchased by local residents) additions to NOTIS Patron File. Any Library cards (categories of OTHR, SUNY) made will have the "create date and the expiration date" on the card so units will be able to tell that it is a new patron. These patrons will have to fill out cards to check materials out. Overdues will have to be done manually for these patrons (no overdues will be produced by batch jobs).
June 7, 2000 Cornell completes testing and accepts bibliographic file, authority file and vendor file

June 8, 2000

Patron File Load. NOTIS circulation continues for patrons with active records in NOTIS. Patrons with no records in NOTIS, manual circulation.
Catalog Configuration
Cataloging begins in Voyager

June 9, 2000

9 am - Accounting offices approve prior day's invoices
noon - Processing centers complete final receiving and creation of invoices in NOTIS. [Endowed processing centers deliver invoices to Accounting Services office by 2pm]
4pm - Final NOTIS invoice approvals by Accounting offices

June 9, 2000
(or June 12 at latest)

after 4pm
Accounting offices process final NOTIS payable vouchers.
Accounting offices correct invoices (ex. release "hung" invoice lines) & do any additional approvals, if needed.
NOTIS made read only for order, invoice and fund records.
Run NOTIS year end "Before" fund accounting reports & verify.
(Note: As fallback position only, be prepared to load PC allocation file for 00/01 against NOTIS funds and continue with NOTIS "After" reports and the balance of the rollover process. This is only a contingency plan and is not expected.)

June 12, 2000

Cornell accepts Patron File.
The 8 week summer session begins. The Summer Session office will begin issuing CU ID cards to summer session students but no records will be loaded into our patron database. Manual Circulation continues.

Open Order Extract.
Circulation Configuration Begins.

June 14, 2000 Begin work to build Fund Structure in Voyager

June 15 - June 19

Manually create Voyager funds and verify balances (Accounting offices)
June 16, 2000 Circulation units that use unlinked item records for short term loans should stop creating unlinked item records for circulation. This allows enough time for short term loan items to be returned and the item record either deleted or left behind in NOTIS.

June 19, 2000

Fund Structure Complete in Voyager
June 20, 2000

Acquisitions Configuration
Full System Backup

June 21, 2000

Units should print "has" lists for any pseudo-patrons still in use.
The circulation data will be extracted from NOTIS. This will include any holds/recalls, fines, fees, item conditions circulation transactions. Item conditions: Refer to the item condition chart on the IMT website "circulation migration." Unlinked item records will not migrate so anything checked out to an unlinked item record will not migrate.

Load Circulation Transactions
Accept Open Orders
Acquisitions in Voyager
Process backlogged and new invoices in Voyager

June 24, 2000 Approve Voyager invoices, create vouchers and electronic interface

Begin Serials Pattern Linking

June 30, 2000 Identify all unpaid invoices, if any, from interim backlog. This is necessary for university year end accrual entries and will need to be a combined effort of processing centers (for identifying unpaid invoices and amounts) and accounting offices (summarizing by ledger account and preparing journal entry)
