Scheduled: myEMU & J1

Uncategorized

Patch 7 to be applied to J1 Desktop, J1 Web, myEMU 1/31/2024 Shortly after 5PM

Updates: 5:20 PM backup of database completed

6 PM Jenzabar indicates work is complete

The most noticeable activity is on J1 Web there will be an IIS restart. People using J1 Web will lose connections and the ability to communicate with the J1 Web server during the upgrade.


On myEMU (different than J1 Web), Web Application Services (WAS) and Client Application services will be stopped and restarted.  myEMU should remain available but some data will either not be refreshed or be unavailable while the services are restarted.                 

Patch 7 will be available to any desktop users that want it on 2/1/2024. The patch affects 1098 and 1099 forms so folks in the business office are the people that need it.

Sorry for the short notice.

Rescheduled: myEMU & J1

myEMU, Student Information, Student Information System (Jenzabar EX), Student Information System (SIS)

There is a planned outage of the Student Information System (Jenzabar J1) on March 5th (Tuesday of Spring Break) from 5:00 PM to 3:00 AM on March 6th. myEMU will also be upgraded and will not be available 5:00 PM until 5:30PM and from 7:30PM and until 9:30PM on March 5th.

This outage is for J1 and myEMU. EMU payment processing (CashNET) is dependent on J1 and myEMU and will be down some during the J1 outage. The PowerFAIDS interface to J1 will not work during the upgrade. Other systems should not be affected.

If you use J1 Desktop, please quit J1 before leaving the previous week. If the client is running during the upgrade, you may need to restart your computer after the upgrade for J1 to work correctly.

We are updating to J1 2023.2 at this time because the J1 2022.2 version we are currently running is nearing its end of life.
