If you have a SIMBA or WPROD folder on your desktop, please pay attention to this post!<\/strong><\/p>\n

An e-mail (copied below) was sent yesterday in regards to a server migration happening in IR. It primarily affects people who run reports through banner (Advisors), but also anyone who gets monthly budgets reports from the Finance Office (people who have grant money available).<\/p>\n

Any data you have stored on your Simba Share (Usually a “Z:” drive) needs to be moved to your Royal Drive or will be lost. If you have any data saved on a Simba Share, please follow the instructions below. If you have any questions, contact tech support (techsupport@scranton.edu or 941-4357), e-mail your friendly TAG departmental liaison, or send an e-mail to tag-members@scranton.edu.<\/p>\n

\nDear Simba\/WPROD Users & Simba “Shares” Users:<\/p>\n

You are receiving this email because:
\n(1) you actively run reports from Banner, and your report output is saved to the “Simba” server
\nor
\n(2) you are a receiver of Monthly Budget Reports from the Finance Office, which reside on the WPROD server.<\/p>\n

Both of these servers are being “retired” in July, in conjunction with the ERP Migration, and their contents will no longer be accessible after July 27, 2011. <\/p>\n

The new home of Banner reports and Monthly Budget Reports will be Royal Drive. <\/p>\n

Below (and attached) are the instructions to copy files from Simba\/WPROD (monthly budget reports) and Simba “Shares” to Royal Drive. It is important that you complete this task by June 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

If you have two drives mapped, the first to a Simba directory and the second to a shared, departmental Simba directory, then you need to move the contents of both those directories to Royal Drive. In the case of a shared directory, you should consult with your department supervisor or Data\/Technology Coordinator before copying any of the files to determine which folder on Royal Drive the files should be copied to – your personal folder or a Group folder.<\/p>\n

Copying Files to Royal Drive from Simba or WPROD Server <\/p>\n

Make sure you are connected to Royal Drive with the Xythos Drive client (see below). If you need help installing, or using it, please contact the Technology Support Center. techsupport@scranton.edu or 941-4357.<\/p>\n
