[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Accessible: Evergreen 1.6 with Endeca, content from Horizon

[Wiktor Rzeczkowski]

Access has now been set up for the general public to one of my Evergreen 
development installations featuring Evergreen v. 1.6 with an additional 
Evergreen Endeca based OPAC and with content (including 1.75 million 
bibliographic records) migrated to Evergreen from the McMaster Horizon 
ILS, for any kind of testing, comparing, or just playing with it.

For the Evergreen staff client 1.6 the address is:
   egils.mcmaster.ca
and an administrator's login user name / password is:
   egils / open-ils
(unrestricted functionality; the system can be restored if needed).

For the Evergreen OPAc the address is:
   http://egils.mcmaster.ca/

For the EVergreen Endeca OPAC the address is:
   http://egils.mcmaster.ca:8080/


The egils.mcmaster.ca server hosts all the OpenSRF/Evergreen services, the 
XMPP jabber, the Postgresql database and the web server, plus a Tomcat 
application server for Endeca. The server is an older, 32 bit, two Xeon 
2.2 GHz processor server with 5 GB of memory and the performance of 
Evergreen may sometimes be affected.

Bibliographic records and holdings displays in the Evergreen OPAC are 
based on the actual content of the Evergreen system.

Bibliographic record displays in the Evergreen Endeca OPAC are based on a 
one-time complete extract from Evergreen (4 minutes). At this time the 
Evergreen extracts for the Evergreen Endeca OPAC are not being taken 
regularly and the bibliographic displays in the OPAC do not change. At 
this time holdings displays in the Evergreen Endeca OPAC are live from our 
production Horizon database and not from Evergreen. The displays 
instantaneously reflect changes to holdings in the production Horizon 
database (as do holdings displays in our production Horizon Endeca OPAC).
