[MacTUG] Release of new WCMS 2 version and software updates

[Farhia Hussein]

 What is happening? A new version of WCMS 2 <https://uwaterloo.ca/web-resources/news/wcms-292-release?> will be released. The database software used for the forms server and the caching software used for production will also be updated.


When is this happening? The release of the new version of WCMS 2 will occur on Monday May 29, Tuesday May 30, Thursday June 1 and Friday June 2 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. The updates of the database and caching software will occur on Tuesday May 30 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.



What is the impact and what should I do? The forms server and forms sites will be completely unavailable for a period of time during the updates. It is recommended that any "mission critical" forms should be temporarily disabled prior to the upgrade window to avoid forms being submitted while your site is being upgraded. All forms can be re-enabled following the upgrade window.


For all sites, please log out of your site and do not work on your site during this upgrade window.


Questions or concerns? Please submit to rt-ist-wcms at rt.uwaterloo.ca<mailto:rt-ist-wcms at rt.uwaterloo.ca> or the IST Service Desk, helpdesk at uwaterloo.ca<mailto:helpdesk at uwaterloo.ca>, ext. 44357.
