Scheduled: myEMU & J1

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

Monday, July 13, 4 AM until noon is a scheduled information system outage for the Student Information System (Jenzabar J1) and myEMU. EMU will be upgrading Jenzabar One and myEMU. J1 will be unavailable during this time; myEMU will have limited functionality.

We expect to have myEMU available by 10 AM.

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. Other systems should not be affected.

If you use the J1 client, please quit the client before you end work on Friday (July 10). If the client is running during the upgrade, you may need to restart your computer after the upgrade for J1 to work correctly.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Information Systems Helpdesk: helpdesk@emu.edu or 540.432.4357.

 

Update 11:30 AM, both myEMU and J1 are available for use.  IS is continuing to do some additional work on the upgrade, but users are welcome to use either product.
