Additional Notes and Workarounds
| Product/Service | Notes and Workarounds | Last Updated |
|---|---|---|
| External IT Services Status (Vendor Status Information) | UWF relies on many third-party systems to function. Many of these third-party systems have their own status webpages that the public can access. Click the link to the left to see the statuses and links for these pages. | N/A |
| Google Workspace IE11 Support | Microsoft recently announced that they will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) for connecting to Microsoft services. As a result, we recommend our own users switch to a different browser as soon as possible, to avoid any possible disruptions in service such as degraded performance or security vulnerabilities. Google Workspace will officially stop supporting IE 11 on March 15, 2021. | 2020-12-09 |
| CAS Prod Service/Chrome | Some users are reporting a 'hang' when first logging into a CAS-integrated service. As a workaround, close and reopen your Chrome web browser. | 2019-08-27 |
Alert Handling
How do we define an alert
All of the following must apply:
- We can consistently reproduce an unexpected behavior.
- An issue is generating a number of responses from the UWF community.
- An alert is posted on this page.
- Either ITS or the third-party vendors are aware of the issue.
- Either ITS or the third-party vendors are actively working to resolve the issue.
- Notices* will be posted if an outage is planned for high impact services.
* Other changes may occur during the maintenance window(s) listed below that will not have a formal notice.
What to expect from an alert
ITS will make best efforts to provide the following for each alert:
- What is expected to occur
- What actually occurs
- What are the workarounds for the issue
- Which departments and third-party vendors are working to resolve the issue
- When was the alert posted
- When was the alert closed
ITS Maintenance Window
System Maintenance Time is a block of time endorsed by InfoSys when online systems are "not expected" to be operational. This does not mean that systems will always be down; there is a possibility online systems will be inoperable during that time due to planned maintenance. It is our standard practice to avoid maintenance whenever possible in these cases:
| |||||||||||
| Standard Working Hours are M-F 8am - 5PM, during which time no routine maintenance will be planned if at all possible. | |||||||||||
| ITS Dedicated Project Work Hours, Developers and Engineers observe strict no non-project meetings, and only respond to emergency interruptions. Concessions made for established recurring institutional meetings. | |||||||||||
| CST | Daily | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Legend | ||
