[Thomas, Kirsti]

Thank God for Harvard:


Preparing for Alma Analytics OBI 12
·        Alma Analytics will be upgraded to version 12 of OBI (Oracle Business Intelligence) on March 1, 2020. This upgrade includes a new OBI tool called Data Visualization (DV). Learn more about what to expect in OBI 12 and DV by visiting the Analytics and Reporting wiki<https://wiki.harvard.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=221713735> for introductory documentation, videos and "how to" presentations.
·        Freeze on creation of new Analytics between 2/22 and 2/29- Reports will be migrated from version 11 to version 12 starting Saturday, February 22 and continuing through Sunday, February 29. During that period, new analytics can not be created. Any analytics created during that period will not be upgraded to version 12, and will not be available when OBI 12 is introduced on Monday, March 1.

I've heard from colleagues that Ex Libris is planning an upgrade to Alma Analytics this month. Documentation on the Ex Libris website says that individuals will need to copy saved reports in "My Folders" into their Institution folder before the date of the "Report freeze time"



The documentation also says that any Analytics reports created during the freeze period won't be saved in the new Analytics platform.

When is the freeze period?  I can't find any information about that on the Ex Libris website.  I know colleagues at Orbis Cascade have a Feb 22 date.





It will be ok!
