Planned Outage: Campus Solutions (CSPRD* & CSRPT*) – CS CatchUP PUM 36 & PeopleTools 8.61.14 Upgrade

Description

On November 22 – 23^rd, the Campus Solutions Production environments [myZou, Pathway, Joe’SS and MyView] and the corresponding Reporting environments will be unavailable due to a required PeopleSoft Campus Solutions PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) Catch-Up PUM 36 and an incremental PeopleTools 8.61.14 upgrade. The system will be unavailable beginning at 6:00 am on Saturday, November 22^nd, and will remain in a Maintenance Status until 5:00 pm on Sunday, November 23^rd.

The Campus Solutions CSPRD and CSRPT instances will be upgraded to PeopleSoft Campus Solutions PUM 36 and PeopleTools 8.61.14 to maintain full vendor support. A notification will be sent when the application is available. 

What’s affected:    

Access to the Campus Solutions CSPRD* and CSRPT* environments [myZou, Pathway, Joe’SS and MyView] which includes direct Oracle database access, PeopleSoft Internet Architecture (PIA), and Application Designer.

The overall student experience within these systems will not change, however the Administrative and Staff pages will change slightly after the upgrade due to Oracle delivering all the Faculty & Staff pages in PeopleSoft Classic Plus format. This is a vendor delivered change and is intended to be a more modern web experience, as a result some of the pages will display differently. I’ve attached a screen-shot showing the overall differences on the External Education page, which displays the Classic Plus styling changes. We have also updated the Campus Solutions Upgrade page to reflect information about the outage and changes.

This upgrade is required by Oracle to remain on a fully supported version of the toolset supporting the Campus Solutions application for the University of Missouri System.
