Beginning Saturday, June 5 at 8:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. (ET) Sunday, June 6, 2021, Office of Information Technologies (OIT) systems engineers will perform a variety of planned maintenance activities and upgrades.
The Oracle databases servicing Banner, ODS, and Application Manager (AppWorx) will be upgraded to the latest version.
