AREV CHEMS
THANK YOU CHEMS COUNTIES! Thanks to State and District staff
– Continued support and commitment
Coming and Going– Welcome new counties– Hope to say welcome back to some leaving
4
CHEMS – Which Server?
Novell– Still the most stable server environment– Don’t use the 4.9 Client (Use 4.83 instead)
Windows– About Half 2000 / 2003 Windows Servers
As always contact me BEFORE switching!– Different drivers & configuration
5
CHEMS – Which Workstation?
Any version of Windows is OK
Many counties moving to Windows XP– XP has been very stable– Windows Printing works fine with CHEMS
Computer– Bigger & Faster is always better– Just about any XP capable computer will work
6
CHEMS – Software Status
Latest released version is 4.66
A few have 4.67 to solve specific issues– 4.67 will go to everyone in December (rates)– Check the release notes for information
New GL Report & Export– Exports month-end journal entries– Setup required to make it work– Talk with Walworth or me if interested
Check the web site for updated information
7
CHEMS – Need Support?
About ½ my time goes into CHEMS support
Daily issues that come up Server changes / upgrades Hardware failures / recovery New Counties coming on Existing Counties getting into new areas
– Barcoding / fuel / sub-systems– Walworth started using “full” CHEMS
8
CHEMS – Need Support?
Some Standard Things To Try….
Exit CHEMS / Reboot your workstation Has anything changed? Web site / Newsgroups Contact training team / county Contact me for support
– Continue to use Email / Phone
Look at the big picture– Quick to think it’s CHEMS and miss the obvious– Power problems in one county – Network issues in another (UPS on Router)
9
CHEMS – Summary
Support and very little coding expected
Daily business operations continue Bug fixes Equipment rate updates Board reviews anything “big”
Any questions on AREV CHEMS ?
10
CHEMSPRO – When?
2001 Meeting I was “Cut-Loose”– Estimate of 2 years– At %50 time this becomes 4 years
2005 Meeting was the initial target– (6) Alpha reporting change – (8) Mom needed care– (4) GL Report & Export
11
CHEMSPRO – When?
Target now is end of 1st qtr ‘07– Beta version ready– One or more counties parallel– 99% of the conversion coding– No documentation at this point
Assumptions– Remain focused on conversion– CHEMS Support remains @ 50%– Development procedures stay the same
12
CHEMSPRO – How?
Convert AREV CHEMS “as-is”– Make minor “logical” enhancements– Combined inventory, fleet with tabs
Get everyone on the windows version– Still following the same procedures
Map out the universe– County / State / Region needs– Pick a path of enhancements– State “real-time” reporting– Board & development team roll
13
CHEMSPRO – What’s Been Done?
About ¾ of the work is done
110 Data Tables converted74 Oracle Functions18 Stored Procedures15 Triggers100,000+ lines of source code
