Today's topics:

Kronos and Java

For this week only, hourly employees and their supervisors should be sure to use Kronos Basic, not full Kronos.

Full Kronos requires a Java update that we are not yet ready to distribute to all of the lab's computers. Kronos Basic does not use Java. If you must use full Kronos, please submit a ServiceRequest, and we will perform a local update of Java on your computer. We plan to update Java on all lab computers next week.

Replicon and Firefox

We have received reports that Replicon does not generate timesheets correctly with the latest update of Firefox (v21). Please use a different browser and submit a ServiceRequest in case of problems.

Please note that systems managed by the IT group have Firefox v17 instead of v21, so Replicon should work properly.

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.
