9/24/2001

Michael Senske had issues with Northern Trust through their Websites. More specifically printing some document which erred out with actuate errors. So I downloaded Actuate Viewer Rel. 5 and LRX Rel. 5 for Netscape and IE.

Apparently at the end of this month our Anti-Virus Licencing for 18 nodes expires from McAfee. So a lady from McAfee Asked if we would like to renew it through Tushaus. I told her we don't deal with Tushaus anymore, so she basically told us that she will contact CDW on our behalf...I indicated to her we already have an account with them. So there is the quote below for 20 nodes..

9/25/01

Fixed the issue with regards to the Northern trust...Downloaded the Actuate Viewer for Netscape Plug-in from www.ntrs.com the section that reads FUNDANALYTICS on the Green Browser page.

Worked at Pave—

Ordered item HP Drum Kit #C4153 ..CDW part #134193 from CDW...Jason greeberg our Account Manager was not there ...So ordered it with the Order #: FH09879...this was after the message from the HP8550 Color Printer indicating that the "HP Drum Kit has low drum life_ please replace kit..

went to PAVE during lunch time..their server was infected with the NIMDA virus and CODE RED II Virus and the Trojan.VirtualRoot Virus..this is a byproduct of not having Service Pack 2 installed on the Windows 2000 machine.

10/1/01

Installed Privatei 3.6311 and everything went smoothly..did this from Cynthia Friaufs' Desk and upgraded on \\bradley\privatei Folder.

Talked to Therese Simmons from the Mcknight foundation and she sent me the following information regarding Great Plains and Gifts Integration...

"there is something about exporting/importing payments. There is

> nothing specific to Dynamics in the manual but I remember there were

> lots of issues to resolve in the Dynamics program before the

> intergration could happen.

>

> To sucessfully integrate the programs, we had to purchase the

> Intergration Manager for Dynamics module and customize the vendor

> maintainence screens by increasing the length of the organization name

> and address fields. The customization was necessary because vendor

> fields from GIFTS were truncated when importing into Dynamics, making

> the transfer of information is invalid.

>

> Several other technical issues came up as a result of our

> customization. For instance, the integration module does not work with

> customize windows. We resolved the issue by creating a user in

> Dynamics that does not have access to customize windows for the first

> step of the integration process. There were other issues but I don't

> exactly remember them.

>

> We also had to link the systems using a common field. We manually

> input Dynamic's Vendor IDs into the GIFTS organization record. We also

> used the payment id in GIFTS as the invoice number (or document

> number) in Dynamics, making it possible to transfer payment

> information between programs."

The Backup went smoothly...

It is a finisher_C1 and 2- cassette device.
