Update 12:30 PM

ITS has identified and repaired the hardware associated with the FOCUS system outage. The service has been restored and ITS is currently working with Finance to ensure that year-end closing is processing as expected.  When those processes are complete, ITS will issue another update.

Update 8:00AM:

ITS is continuing to work to restore the FOCUS system. An update will be posted here and users will be notified when the service is restored. Until then, ITS requests that if you know that a Banner job you are submitting is a FOCUS job, you hold off on submitting it.

Original Post 6:00AM:

The server and service running the FOCUS system (OPUS) has experienced a failure. ITS is continuing to work the issue and restore the service as quickly as possible.

(Please note that all FOCUS jobs, including ones that effect Finance Year-End closing will be impacted until the service is restored.)
