Scheduled
PeopleSoft and PeopleSoft/HighPoint Campus Experience (CX) may 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, Jan. 24, at 11 p.m. until Sunday, Jan. 25, at 7 a.m. The maintenance will be performed by the vendor, Sierra-Cedar.
This update released by Oracle/PeopleSoft involves deployment of Financial Aid regulatory updates, as well as an update to the HighPoint Degree Planner. The updates will be completed sometime within the maintenance window and will not entail a complete outage, as deployment will take place in rolling fashion. However, users that are connected to the system when the update occurs may encounter an error and have to log back in. HighPoint Degree Planner may also be unavailable for a period of time during the maintenance window. There will be no notable changes to the user interface.
Be sure to complete all of your work and exit the system before 11 p.m. on Jan. 24. Incomplete entries will be terminated without notice when the system goes briefly offline for the update.
The maintenance period has been scheduled by Pitt Digital in consultation with the Office of the University Registrar, Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, and Student Financial Services.
Pitt Digital 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 https://status.pitt.edu. The system will be returned to service earlier if the maintenance work is completed ahead of schedule.
Please submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk at https://digital.pitt.edu/helprequest or call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you experience any issues or have questions related to this maintenance. This effort is being led by Bob Treloar, Pitt Digital’s manager of student systems.
