If you are working and get bounced out, Bb Vista might be down for Sunday morning maintenence.
For years, Drexel has reserved Sunday mornings (6:00am - Noon, Eastern time) for maintenance of the many computer systems for which it is responsible. This includes
Banner, WebMail, Bb Vista, the DrexelOne portal, and many other systems. Having
this time set aside for computer system maintenance is crucial for providing reliable
service throughout the balance of the week, upgrading applications for you, bringing
new hardware on line, etc.
That said, on many occasions, no substantive maintenance is required and all systems
remain available during these hours. Similarly, when needed maintenance can be accomplished with a system or application outage that is shorter than this timeframe,
that is what we do. That means that when most maintenance is done, we do not need
the entire 6-hour window.
The main thing to remember about this maintenance window is to get in the habit of
not relying on that timeframe to do your work in Bb Vista, for instance. Save that time
for class reading, reflection, or working on assignments outside of Bb Vista, perhaps.
That is the safest way to go. Do not rely on availability that might not be
there on a
given Sunday morning. |
