Subject: vhost service: Migration Update

Hi All,

This email is our third monthly follow up and check-in regarding the vhost Service: User Acceptance Testing initiated on April 30, 2021. Thank you to those who have continued to test, remediate, and reach out for website support as needed. Please continue to log any issues on the UAT Issue Tracking Document<https://o365ucr.sharepoint.com/:x:/t/DrupalWebAdvisoryGroup/ER31UR3K7aJAsKaiqSMSm_oBMiEFnHFQcuWhTN3odK_AxA?e=qjh2P8> so that our team can investigate, troubleshoot, and assist where possible. A few reminders:

  *   All remediation guidance and documentation can be found in the [cid:ef894e43-fdd6-484c-9036-a935d7aacf34]  Web Advisory Group SharePoint<https://o365ucr.sharepoint.com/:f:/t/DrupalWebAdvisoryGroup/EllqM3UgYVxEgyvp6y2t6I4BZhfR2lMXjBybq7CWuQ779w?e=hd3zbs>
  *   Any content changes made to the current production site must be replicated in the staging environment as the staging environment will become the new production instance during go-live

     *   Clients who have tested their staging site can opt to cutover to the AWS environment early, ahead of the proposed August go-live. To do this, please Request a Systems Service<https://ucrsupport.service-now.com/ucr_portal/?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=1ee50eb10f5a0300138942bce1050e5f> and indicate your site(s) URL and preferred date of cutover.
     *   To view a list of vhost sites and their staging aliases, please see https://vhostsites.ucr.edu

Additionally, we are pleased to announce that the legacy campus OmniUpdate service has officially been retired. All in-scope OU campus websites have been transitioned to an archived state (no longer publicly accessible) as of yesterday evening, Wednesday, June 30, 2021.

Lastly, see below for updated Key Project Dates, including the proposed service cutover/migration date:

04/30/2021

05/01/2021 – 06/01/2021

Thank you for your continued partnership,
