AppsAnywhere Upgrade and Outage: Tuesday, 28-May-2024 @ 10:30 AM

On Tuesday, 28-May-2024, starting at 10:30 AM, the AppsAnywhere service will be unavailable for up to 4 hours for a Cloudpaging server upgrade. During this time, any applications that are active might report that there is an interruption; they will resume when the connection returns. Applications that are "offline allowed" will not be affected. After the server upgrade is complete, a new version of the CloudPaging Player software will be pushed to your computer when you access the AppsAnywhere web interface, and you will be prompted to reboot. If you have any questions or concerns, please submit a ServiceRequest.

Linux Updates: Wednesday, 29-May-2024 @ 8:00 AM

On Wednesday, 29-May-2024 @ 8:00 AM, the latest Linux kernels and drivers will be pushed to all CLASSE Linux boxes. Please reboot your computer after 12:00 noon on Wednesday for the updated kernel and drivers to take effect.

At this time, we will also be updating all AlmaLinux computers to the latest point release - 9.4.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
