What is being done? University IT is improving the infrastructure which underpins the finance system, Oracle EBS. This will involve a scheduled period during which the service will be unavailable.
When is this being done? Between 07:00 and 08:15 on Thursday, 24th September. The service should be considered as at risk until 09:00.
Who will be affected? All Oracle EBS and some Business Objects users.
How will this affect users of the service? Oracle EBS and research projects reporting in Business Objects will be unavailable during the stated periods. No orders can be generated or processed during this window.
Any user still logged in at the start of the work will be automatically disconnected. To avoid losing any work/progress, users must log out of Oracle EBS at the end of the day on Wednesday, 23rd September 2026.
Scheduled processes will be halted during this period.
Why is this being done? This is part of our ongoing IT infrastructure improvement programme.
