Published: January 17, 2020

The EFS Support Organization is in process of wrapping up User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to update PeopleSoft from Image 28 to Image 32 as part of the Annual Catch-up Event (ACE). This is one of the final milestones to complete prior to the Go-Live event starting on Thursday March 5th at 5:00 PM until Monday March 9th at 8:00 AM.

We have compiled the following schedule, including deadlines for transactions, as part of our organization readiness plan to prepare for the Annual Catch-up Event. These deadlines are intended to minimize complications and mitigate risk of data loss during the update effort. Please review the following dates carefully and make note of the deadlines that apply to your department.

As a reminder, the EFS Support Organization will utilize the latest Images provided through PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) to complete the Annual Catch-up Event. This annual process will bring us to the most current Image release, available at the start of ACE, offering improved system security and stability. Individual critical fixes identified by the EFS Support Organization will be applied throughout the year to keep EFS PeopleSoft stable and secure.

The EFS Support Organization continues to work diligently on meeting our Annual Catch-up Event milestones while continuing to offer support to the EFS end user community.
