We have identified an issue where some users might see a problem printing W-2s to a PDF from Employee Dashboard on MyDenison if they have more than one local tax. We are working with Ellucian on this and plan to implement a fix next Tuesday morning (Feb. 6th) during the maintenance window. Between 5:00 – 7:00 AM Employee Self-Service will be unavailable. In the meantime, there is a workaround for printing your W-2 by using the following link: https://banner.denison.edu/ords/ssb/prod/bwpkxtxs.P_ChooseW2Key

  • Click on Employee and then Tax Forms.
  • Click on W-2 Year End Earnings Statement
  • Select 2023 from the drop down and click Display

Update 1/28 8:00Am
Thank you for your support this weekend. Queries reveal new data in the ODS, so from that perspective it was a success. There are still some errors on the ODS logs and we will continue to work with Ellucian to insure the health and stability of the ODS/Cognos data.

Please use Banner for look up only this Saturday all day. Processing and updates should be avoided. The availability of data in the Cognos/ODS packages will be unpredictable during the entire weekend. The Cognos Ztable packages will remain available for reporting throughout the weekend.

8:10am The restart has been completed. If you experience any problems with Banner services please report the details of the issue to the Helpdesk at helpdesk@denison.edu or call extension x6395.

We will be performing maintenance and a restart of Banner, Cognos, Xtender and associated services during the regular maintenance window on January 8, 2013. We expect a 2-hour process and hope that all services will be operational by 8:30am. Please check Netnotes for updates Tuesday morning.
