Start Date & Time

End Date & Time

Description

The production Enterprise Database (EDB) service will undergo maintenance between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 24. This will impact services that are dependent upon the Enterprise Database, including the Federated Identity Service and services that rely on it for logins such as MyCUInfo, Buff Portal, Canvas, and many more (see Impact and Affected Services below). This maintenance is necessary to patch the database environment. Please note that UIS enterprise application maintenance from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the same day will impact many of the same services.

Impact

The Federated Identity Service will experience two outages of 5 to 15 minutes during the maintenance window. New authentication activity and logins will not be possible during these outages for services such as MyCUInfo, Buff Portal, Canvas, and many more. Other dependent services may also experience interruptions during the maintenance window (see Affected Services below). New courses and enrollments will be delayed until the end of the maintenance window.
