Alma Feature Releases include a Release Update one week after the Production release. The Release Update contains resolved issues. The Release Update takes place on both the sandbox and production environments.
Semi-annual indexing begins in May and November and ends in June and December (completion times vary by institution). It includes indexing only, i.e. doesn’t trigger the execution of Recalculate OPR and Recalculate DEDUP/FRBR. Customers can see the progress indication from the Monitor Jobs page, either from the Running or History tabs, depending on the status. Due to the sensitivity of the process, the development team triggers the indexing in all data centers.
