Attention: All Banner/HuskyBuy Users
This coming weekend is the annual year-end roll of the Banner system. During this time, we will be rolling PO’s and budgets from 2020 into 2021. This work requires the system to be unavailable to end users throughout the process.
This weekend the outage window begins at 6 a.m. Friday, July 10, and ends at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 12.
The reason for this outage:
During this time the Banner production system will be rolled into the fiscal New Year, transferring GL balances, budgets, and encumbrances. This requires that no additional transactions are entered into the system and therefore that the system be closed to end users, automated feeds, etc.
What this means to you:
The entire Banner production environment will be completely unavailable to you throughout the duration of the outage. This includes the Luminis portal, INB, SSB, and the APEX/Bridge file interface system.
The Banner test environments are not impacted by this outage and will remain fully available.
The HuskyBuy purchasing system will be up and running during this weekend. However, because Banner will be unavailable purchase orders and purchase requisitions cannot be processed by the purchasing team until the outage window ends.
What you need to do:
No action is required on your part.
Notification of system availability:
Banner is expected to be fully available on Sunday evening at 8:00pm. No other messages will be sent unless problems prevent that schedule from being met.
