  • 7/22 Banner Production Outage This Weekend

    Attention: All Banner Users

    This coming weekend is a scheduled maintenance outage for the Banner production environment. This work requires the system to be unavailable to end users throughout the outage.

    This weekend the outage window begins at 8 p.m. Friday, July 22, and ends 8 p.m. Sunday, July 24.

    The reason for this outage:

    During this time, routine server maintenance will be performed, software and operating system patches installed and other planned server and application work completed as necessary.

    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, the APEX/Bridge file interface system, and the ODS reporting environment.

    The Banner test environments are not impacted by this outage and will remain fully available.

    HuskyBuy will be up and running during this weekend. However, because Banner will be unavailable, the Procurement team cannot process purchase orders and purchase requisitions 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 p.m. No other messages will be sent unless problems prevent that schedule from being met.

    Please note below the remaining maintenance schedule for 2022:

    • Aug. 19 to Aug. 21
    • Sept. 30 to Oct. 2
    • Oct. 28 to Oct. 30
    • Nov. 25 to Nov. 27
    • Dec. 23 to Dec. 25 

    Thank you.
