Update at 11:30 am 3/27/2011: All maintenance complete.

On Sunday March 27th from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM the following production servers may be intermittently unavailable due to maintenance:

Merlin2
Google
SQL
Harstine

Services Affected:
Cascade, Banner, Bosscops, Bosscars, Surveys, Apex, Kronos, Sharepoint, Food Services Suite, and possibly XenApps.

Java plug-in update

The configuration for Cascade forms, Banner, Famis, Bosscops, and Bosscars was updated to require a new version of Java. The version to be used now is 1.6.0_18.

Note: this caused some issues this morning, when version 19 was inadvertently coded to be downloaded. Several users experienced problems which required their Java to be uninstalled and reinstalled. By 9:30 am, the configuration was updated to download the correct version.
