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

• Problems – Loss of functionality (Routing, eAlerts, etc.)– Site is down– Content missing– Double folders– Latest news not appearing
Problem vs. Work Request
