UW-Madison Division of Information Technology (DoIT) will be performing network server maintenance from 12: 00 - 8:00 a.m on Sunday, July 16. This maintenance will result in intermittent outages of SFS which will affect anyone trying to complete an expense report using E-Reimbursements (Travel).


Looking ahead - Extended outage - Data Warehouse down beginning July 20  - BI affected

On Thursday, Jul. 20 ITS staff will be moving the Data Warehouse to its new server in preparation for the scheduled PASS 9.2 upgrade on July 27.  The process will begin at approximately 11:30 a.m on Thursday, Jul. 20 and is expected to take several days.

During the outage period, data for Business Intelligence (BI) will not refresh. We recommend you do NOT run BI reports while the outage is underway. Please share this information within anyone in your area who may be affected.

Every effort will be made to restore service as quickly as possible. A notice will be posted on the BI landing page when the process is completed.
