Upgrading MaineStreet Portal to 9.1

Drew Northup — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 18:31:44 +0000

A new version of the MaineStreet Portal will be placed into production on the morning of Sunday August 19th.

We expect minimal disruption with the exception that if a user is active when we make the change they WILL loose their session. Therefore we ask that users log out of MaineStreet before the beginning of the regularly scheduled service window (5:00 AM). While we don’t plan to make changes until 6:00 AM EDT this deadline will give enough time for everyone to be fully logged out. Following the change UMS ITS staff will test the Portal to ensure a smooth changeover.
