Add, Delete, Update User Report

The Add Delete Update User (Aduusertext) report reindexes the full text records to keep up with added, deleted and updated information for user data. It is important to schedule the Add, Delete, and Update User report to run at frequent intervals. It is recommended that the report be run daily, and preferably during nighttime hours when there are fewer users updating the system.

When new records are added to SirsiDynix Symphony, or modifications are made to existing records, the report indexes the words in the records so they can be searched and browsed in the user searches. When users are removed, the report updates the library user information and text indexes so that all references to words in that user record are erased.

The Add, Delete, Update Databases report contains the Basic Tab: Reports. It also contains the Shutdown Options (Windows only) tab on Windows systems.

The Add, Delete, Update Databases report should be run each night between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. when few users are using the library system. The User Dynamic Database is automatically rebuilt or reorganized when the report is run.

When this report is run on the Windows platform, SirsiDynix Symphony services may stop at the beginning of the report and restart automatically when the report finishes, depending on the settings you choose under the Shutdown Options tab (for more information, see Shutdown Options (Windows only)). Users cannot access SirsiDynix Symphony through WorkFlows or SirsiDynix e-Library while SirsiDynix Symphony services are stopped. If stopped, do not restart the SirsiDynix Symphony services manually while this report is running.

If you choose to keep the SirsiDynix Symphony services running as the report runs, you may encounter the following message while using SirsiDynix Symphony WorkFlows: "The records are currently in use." This message is a result of those records being locked for indexing or updating; the records will become available again after the report is finished.

If you try to display deleted user records before this report is run, the ”Unavailable for display” message appears. The user IDs will be available for reuse once the report is run.
