Slide 10

QUT Launches BONUS+
Go Live set for Wednesday 14 July
 Not successful. System-wide outage. Effected Webpac, Circ, ILL
and Program Registration – all down for entire day
 Possible option was to do a full system restore but gave III time to
fix problem
 Reason: Rel 2009A failed when interfacing with the deploy set
architecture – attributed to conflicts with Program Registration
module
 Resolution: Partial patch to Rel 2009B as the deploy set
architecture more evolved. Full upgrade to 2009B done in
September.

Slide 12

QUT Launches BONUS+
Some Issues:
 Changes were made to the BONUS+ login
screen as we use QUT authentication not PINS
 QUT has to link to http site not https because
of our Internet and authentication process
 Link to UNSW (InnReach link) stopped after
upgrade to 2009B but III forced a restart of this
link)
