CommonSpot Upgrade Scheduled

04/02/08   Portland, OR

The CommonSpot upgrade (from version 4.6 to version 5.0) has been scheduled for next Tuesday, April 8.  There will be no downtime for live, public-facing websites. 

CommonSpot authoring will be unavailable most of the day on April 8.  You'll receive an email when the upgrade is complete and authoring is available again.

The only interruption to website availability will be a 60 minute outage on the authoring server from 7am - 8am.  During this time, live ozone sites will be unavailable.

Anticipated project time line for April 8:

-     7-8am: CommonSpot authoring and live ozone sites are unavailable

-     8am-12pm: Upgrade and migration to new hardware

-     12pm-3pm: Sites are live in new environment

-     3pm: Authoring is available

If you notice problems with your site on April 8, please call the help desk at 503.494.2222 or email webadmin@ohsu.edu.

Your CommonSpot 5.0 site is available to preview right now!

To prepare for the upgrade, we've created a copy of all CommonSpot 4.6 sites in a development environment and upgraded them to CommonSpot 5.0.  We'll be running through a standard set of tests, but due to the large volume of content, will not be testing each page. 

Let Renee McKechnie know if you'd like access to the upgraded version of your site before it goes live. (This testing is strongly encouraged!)

Please let us know if we can answer any questions.
