Document Management (Perceptive Content) is getting a modernized full-text search and improved user experience. The service will be unavailable from Friday, May 15, at 5 p.m., through Monday, May 18, at 8 a.m., while the vendor performs an extended upgrade.
Users must complete all transactions and exit the system before 5 p.m. on Friday, May 15. Any incomplete transactions, including in-process reports, will be lost when the system goes offline. Normally scheduled workflows will be paused during the maintenance window, and the information will not be lost. After the upgrade, workflows will resume and catch up.
A software upgrade will need to be downloaded and installed no earlier than Friday, May 15, by users or their RC Admin. Before the upgrade, users should review the preparation steps the KB article to determine the right update path for their device or the devices they manage. To ensure a successful upgrade, Pitt Digital will be hosting information sessions in the week preceding the upgrade.
This maintenance window was scheduled by Pitt Digital as part of vendor-recommended best practices to ensure the continued security, stability, and reliability of the system.
Pitt Digital will email known users directly with this information. Pitt Digital has completed checks to ensure that the system is ready for the upgrade and will be actively engaged with the vendor throughout the maintenance period. In the unlikely event that an issue or problem arises, the system will be reverted to its 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.
