UPDATE

The ODS upgrade is complete. Some post upgrade work will continue on the back-end.

As always, if you encounter any issues, please contact the Help Desk at x6395 or by email at helpdesk@denison.edu.

 

As planned, ITS will be upgrading to ODS 8.4.1 this weekend, starting on Thursday, July 17. We expect to be back up in Production on Monday, July 21st.

Here are some important facts about the ODS upgrade:

  • We will clone (copy) ODSPROD to ODSTEST on Weds, July 16th in preparation for the upgrade.
  • All scheduled reports from ODSPROD will be suspended for the upgrade outage.
  • On Thursday morning, you will still have access to your Cognos reports; however, when you log into Cognos (Production), the queries and reports will be setup to run against the ODSTEST environment.  Important: This ODSTEST environment will NOT be refreshed during the upgrade outage. All Cognos reports run during the upgrade period will use cloned Banner data that will be current as of noon on Wednesday, (7/16.)
  • We will be working on this ODS upgrade all weekend.
  • On Monday morning we expect to be up and running against a refreshed, upgraded ODSPROD environment.
