The CommonSpot upgrade has been scheduled!
We are ready to upgrade our content management system to the latest version of CommonSpot. As part of this upgrade we will be migrating all existing CommonSpot websites to the new version. This should be transparent but as is always the case with changes, something might break for someone. Test your sites NOW! Existing OHSU websites that have been built in CommonSpot are available for testing in the 5.0 development environment. I urge everyone who is responsible for one of these sites to thoroughly review your webpages in this environment. Here are the details of the migration from Renee and Damon.
----------------------------
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 me know if you'd like access to the upgraded version of your site before it goes live. (This testing is strongly encouraged!)
