Update to 9.0 Upgrade Schedule
As you may recall in the more detailed message sent in October, IU is in the process of upgrading to PeopleSoft’s most recent 9.0 versions of the Human Resource (HRMS) and Student Information System (SIS) applications. This is a major product release for SIS.
This message is to inform you that the HRMS and SIS Joint Executive Committee members have revised the start date so that the upgrade to version 9.0 will begin on Friday, February 15, 2008. This start date best supports the operational needs of student service, human resources, and payroll. It has also been determined that the final stage of implementing the upgrade to version 9.0 will require approximately a 5 - 6 day period.
As a result, departments should plan for the HRMS and SIS to be unavailable for access starting Friday, February 15th through Wednesday, February 20, 2008. This phase of the upgrade will affect all individuals who currently rely on the SIS for admissions, advising, financial aid, student records, and student financials processing. It will also affect users of the HRMS for payroll, staff and academic HR, and benefit processing.
PeopleSoft 9.0 Upgrade: Take HRMS/SIS down on Friday, February 15, 2008
· The current projection is for HRMS and SIS to be down on Friday, 2/15/08 and back up for all administrative, faculty, and student users on Thursday 2/21/08.
· The IUIE environment will be available for reporting except during certain maintenance periods yet to be determined. During this final phase of the upgrade, the information in the IUIE will be current as of the end of the day on February 14th. More information on the IUIE downtimes to support maintenance activities during this period will be published at a later time.
· Oncourse, IU email, FIS, and other administrative systems will be available during the downtime. A full listing of systems impacted by the upgrade downtime are noted in the following document: https://uisapp2.iu.edu/confluence/display/HRMSSISCS8990/Systems+Affected+by+9.0+Upgrade+Outage
· This notification is being sent so that your department may plan adjustments to operational calendars and make any other necessary adjustments that might be necessary due to the unavailability of these systems
· If the upgrade completes prior to Thursday morning, communications will be sent to SIS user base letting them know the system is available.
