Good morning, Adams State Banner Community.
This morning we just received an urgent notice from Ellucian to immediately install the Banner 2020 Quarter 3 Updates which contain mandatory Security Patches to the Self-Service Banner Applications. This means we will need to escalate the installation of the Quarter 3 (Q3) Banner Updates to the Banner DEVL/QA/PROD environments. Also the Quarter 2 (Q2) & Quarter 3 (Q3) Banner updates will be deployed to PROD at the same time after being verified in the QA environment. We are in the process of starting the updates and determining the new schedule for the Q2/Q3 updates to be deployed to PROD.
The immediate Banner Update schedule:
DEVL: 28-Aug-20, start install and deploy the Q3 & Security updates
QA: 03-Sep-20, start install and deploy the Q3 & Security updates
PROD: TBD, install and deploy Q2/Q3 updates ASAP after Census date
Given the surprise and urgent nature of these mandatory Security updates, any testing on the Q2 updates can be halted at this time. The verification of the Banner updates can be resumed once the Q3 updates are available in QA. The campus will be updated by an email post to this BUGs Google Group thread.
