I have heard that EBSCO isn't putting much into supporting these products now as they are about to launch their new integrated admin module.  We just migrated to A-Z and when I questioned the speed that is the "answer" I was given.  I am not positive as to when the new module is being released.  At one point I thought it was January but I have heard nothing.  I am experiencing a lot of slowness is the A-Z admin, at times I can't get things to load at all.  Hopefully the new product comes out soon, and works!

Hi Rob,

I haven’t had much luck with this either.  I think I have in the past run an analysis of more than a few resources so I think the system is supposed to be able to do it.  But I have found it to always be very slow and also to crash often.  I just tried it now and I cannot even get it to initiate an analysis.  It just keeps spinning and spinning.  So, I do not think it is a local issue.

Subject: [SERIALST] Ebsco A-Z Overlap Analysis

Hi all,

  Does anyone use Ebsco A-Z overlap analysis?  I rarely get to complete an analysis without it crashing.  I'm just wondering if it is a local issue or the system can't handle comparisons of more than a few resources.
