Why are we having this system outage?
During this maintenance, the Finance Office and Information Services are collaborating to complete an important major upgrade to Oracle e-Business Suite, moving from Release 11i to Release 12 (or “R12”). While most people on campus do not use e-Business Suite system directly, it is the core system that maintains the University financial and human resources databases.
After the upgrade is completed, it will introduce process changes for only those staff in the Finance and Human Resources offices who regularly use e-Business Suite and they have been directly involved in preparing for those changes. Otherwise, the upgrade should not result in any noticeable changes in e-Services for other faculty, staff or students. Thank you for your patience as we implement this important system upgrade.
