Database Breakout • Why Breakout the Database? • Status
Why breakout the Database? All sites are currently in one large database. • Performance • By breaking sites up into separate, smaller databases, it will reduce the load which will improve performance • Issue Resolution • Reloading the application tables on the back end has caused double folders and latest news to disappear
Database Breakout Status • Several sites have been broken out into a new database for testing • We will be notifying System Administrators as we schedule the breakout of sites
Help Desk Forms • Why DOIT implemented these forms • Change is Good! (or, What is different from the last Portal User Group Meeting?) • When do you submit a Problem vs. a Work Request? • How PMG handles these tickets • Examples of Problems and Work Requests
Why DOIT Uses These Forms • Improves response time • Improves the flow of work through the Help Desk • The customer can track the progress of their submitted tickets • Allows DOIT to track trends • Helps DOIT allocate resources more effectively
Change Is Good! • Why has the procedure changed since the last Portal User Group Meeting?
Problem vs. Work Request • Critical Issues – Call directly (622-2300) • Problems • Loss of functionality (Routing, eAlerts, etc.) • Site is down • Content missing • Double folders • Latest news not appearing
Problem vs. Work Request • Work Requests • Training • Graphics • WebTrends reports • Form creation • General questions • New site creation • New Portal features
What Does PMG Do With The Tickets? • All PMG members can see the tickets • One PMG member has primary responsibility for tickets • Craig M. and Mario rotate on a weekly basis • Craig C. and Rich assist with tickets as needed

MS Security Updates • A Microsoft critical patch created issues with the Active X control features • Some symptoms of this issue could include: • Invalid license key errors • Memory errors and browser crashes • Losing content from the editor while just toggling between tabs • Browser just closes on Save as Staged Version or Publish
