Student Information System Undergoing Maintenance This Weekend Nov 23, 2024 23:00 - Nov 24, 2024 08:00 EST
PeopleSoft and PeopleSoft/HighPoint Campus Experience (CX) will be unavailable during scheduled maintenance to the Student Information System https://services.pitt.edu/TDClient/33/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=345 taking place overnight from Saturday, Nov. 23, at 11 p.m. until Sunday, Nov. 24, at 8 a.m. The maintenance will be performed by the vendor, Sierra-Cedar.
Released by Oracle/PeopleSoft, the update delivers bug fixes, regulatory changes, security, and enhancements, and is part of vendor-recommended best practices to ensure the continued security, stability, and reliability of the system. On occasion, users may notice slight changes to the application’s look and feel, but functionality typically remains the same.
Be sure to complete all of your work and exit the system before 11 p.m. on Nov. 23. Incomplete entries will be terminated without notice when the system goes offline.
The maintenance period has been scheduled by Pitt Information Technology in consultation with the Office of the University Registrar, Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, and Student Financial Services.
Pitt IT has completed checks to ensure that the systems are ready for the updates and will be actively engaged with the vendor throughout the maintenance period. In the unlikely event that an issue or problem arises, the systems will be reverted to the original configuration and an update posted to status.pitt.edu. https://status.pitt.edu/ The system will be returned to service earlier if the maintenance work is completed ahead of schedule.
Please submit a request to the Technology Help Desk https://www.technology.pitt.edu/helprequest at +1- 412-624-HELP (4357) if you experience issues related to this maintenance. This effort is being led by Bob Treloar, Pitt IT’s manager of student systems.

Posted on Nov 18, 2024 - 15:26 EST
Pitt Information Technology will perform maintenance on the University’s legacy Avaya PBX telephone system on Monday, Nov. 25, between 3 and 6 a.m. During the maintenance period, analog phones — including emergency blue light phones, fax machines, lab phones, and elevator phones — will be unavailable on the Pittsburgh campus. Also, 5-digit dialing will be temporarily unavailable on the Avaya system. Those using Microsoft Teams for phone service will not be impacted.

In the event of an on-campus emergency during this maintenance period, please use a cell phone or a non-Avaya device to contact University police at 412-624-2121 or call 9-1-1.

The maintenance schedule has been developed with input from Public Safety. Pitt IT has completed checks to ensure that the system is ready for the transition. In the unlikely event that an issue or problem arises, the system will be reverted to its original configuration. Any updates or additional information will be posted at status.pitt.edu.

This maintenance serves as a stopgap to keep telecommunication services operational for departments pending their upgrade to Microsoft Teams. Pitt IT encourages all remaining Avaya users to transition to Teams now for enhanced reliability and more cost-effective telecom services.

To schedule a migration or if you experience any issues related to this maintenance, please submit a request to the Technology Help Desk or call +1-412-624-HELP (4357). This effort is being led by Lou Passarello, Pitt IT’s director of operations.
