Q1 Production GoLive : Canceled/Rescheduled to Fallback Dates.
by Frank Dolezal 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

Campus Teams, Oracle delivered a new feature in PUM 28 that impacted/broke several CIs including one used by UNO Admissions. While we wait for a patch, it would be prudent to carefully test student/business processes that include a student's name. (Including Suggested items noted on 3/2/23 email: "IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding Names"). Please quickly report any problems via the NeSIS issues form : https://nesis-apps.nebraska.edu/issues . After we have a solution, we may need to re-test pages and interfaces that add or update student names. The Q1 PRD golive scheduled for 3/12 (RFC-11842) will be rescheduled to the previously approved fallback date of 3/19 (RFC-12012). The new Signoff date for Campus Maint. Leads will be EOD Wednesday 3/15 and NeSIS will have downtime starting at 8pm on 3/19 thru 5am on 3/20. The FA PRP previously schedule to move to production on 3/20 has been rescheduled for 3/27. We adjusted the PeopleTools Schedule, shifting some of the DEV and TST dates. These and other updates at will discussed at tomorrow's 10am NeSIS Change Control Meeting. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Frank Dolezal NeSIS Systems Administrator 235 E.

IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding Names in 2023 Q1 Maintenance
by Lori Brown 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

PUM 28 delivered a new enhancement to configure name formats. Early testing uncovered a bug that has been determined not to be a show-stopper at this point, however, we want people to continue to test to find any additional issues. Spacing of the PSFormat Name name has been formatted to include a space after the last name, a comma, no space and the first name. Examples: * Smith ,Jane * Smith (JR) ,Jeff The PSFormat name is usually seen on: Search pages [Graphical user interface, text, application Description automatically generated] Class Rosters PS [Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated] Campus Dashboards [Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated] NOTE: You will need to work with your Dashboard Portal Administrator to ensure name formatting is correct on your campus dashboards. Name field on the NAMES record [Graphical user interface, text, application, email Description automatically generated] An Oracle SR has been submitted requesting to have the space moved after the comma, but we haven't received a response yet. If this is the only issue identified with this new Name Format, we will still move the PUM into Production. However, this is where we need you!!!! We want to ensure this new format does not break any other items. Below are some suggested items to test from beginning to end. This is not an exhaustive list and your campus may have additional items not listed, but it should get you started. If the processes end in an error or the processes will not work, please file an issue: https://nesis-apps.nebraska.edu/issues * If your institution uses the Graduation Application Modification: * Complete the Eform * Move the Data into the Graduation Modification. * Move the data from the Graduation Application Modification into the Add/Update a Person page. * Test other processes that move data from an Eform into a modification page: * Residency Application * Change of Campus Application * Intercampus Application * Test your Admissions Applications and be sure to run all associated processes: * Shared Application * Eform Applications * Out of State Applications * 3rd Party Admissions Applications * CAS * CollegeNet * Common Application * Test processes that get information from a file: * Create new staff/Faulty from SAP data (CC005) * Create Parents from a PLUS loan application * Test processes that create a file. We do not believe the generating of the file will be an issue, but you will need to see if the recipient is able to read the data if that specific "Name" field from the "NAMES" record is used. If FirstName and LastName are used, the file should be fine. Work with the third party to load the file to ensure there are no errors. * GIS (Campus Police) * Maxient * Campus ID Badge & Door Access Systems * Housing * CRMs * Parking * Bookstore * Clearing House * Course Management System (Canvas etc...) * Courseleaf CLAAS Last items to double check.... * Communication Generation. If you are using a custom Query that pulls the Name field, or in the delivered Data Source, if there is a Name field, that will present to your students with this format. You can change the formatting on the RTF to fix that immediately. Contact Shareen Thewke if you want assistance with this process. * Queries, Webfocus and Tableau reports may use the Name field. This can be changed to be formatted correctly. In query, you can use an expression to accomplish this change. In Webfocus and Tableau reach out to the expert on your campus for assistance. If you have questions or concerns, contact one of the NeSIS Functional Coordinators. Thanks!
