After many hours of research, including vendor involvement, the issue was identified as a few users having some items on their RT-at-a-Glance which were performing poorly and refreshing the query continually at designated refresh intervals. Our database administrator group was able to relieve the performance pressure with a very short-term solution that will not scale over time. This was a very temporary fix until we could complete our investigation.

Effective September 14, 2015 at 10pm the right to adjust your RT-at-a-Glance has been suspended until more effective communication can be developed on the options available. I use the term suspension as I believe solutions can be developed which will mitigate this issue.

Less than 3% of the almost 700 users had reports associated with their RT-at-a-Glance which contributed to the performance issue.

While most of you (@80%) will not see any difference because you have remained on the default RT-at-a-Glance setup, others will notice some reports missing. Many of the offending reports were related to folks having their Closed Ticket report refreshing every 10 minutes.

I agree the Closed Ticket report is very useful but the need to refresh every 10 minutes can be mitigated by explicitly selecting this same report via your Saved Searches option, also available on your RT-at-a-Glance.

The reports found in your Saved Searches area of the RT-at-a-Glance are the same reports but they only create overhead to the system when they are explicitly selected.

Until we are able to lift the suspension please submit a ticket if your RT-at-a-Glance requires adjustment. Someone from DoIT will work with you as soon as possible.

Thank you for continued support and cooperation,

Joe Kirby

To The UMBC Campus Community,

Recently a DoIT student employee contacted members of the campus that they may have a number of files on their computers containing personally identifiable information (PII).  This information may include social security numbers (SSNs), credit card numbers, passport numbers or bank account numbers.  

While this was a legitimate email, it was sent out mistakenly by a grad student working in our cyber security group.

We apologize for the alarm this has caused and we have used this incident to review how we keep the campus informed of the important work we are doing. We will be sharing our plans with the campus community once we have had this process reviewed by our shared governance committees and the VPs and Deans.

If you have continued questions or concerns, or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to our Chief Information Security Officer, Mark Cather at mark.cather@umbc.edu.

Sincerely,

Jack Suess

VP of IT and Chief Information Officer

Faculty, staff, and students can now print from their own devices using Pharos Mobile Printing. Previously, in order to print an image or document, users would have to log on into a computer, pull up their file, and then go to a print release station. With Pharos, users can print from a multitude of supported devices, including Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Funds for Pharos printing comes straight from your Campus Card Account. 

For Mac and Windows users, you can access Pharos by going to mobileprint.umbc.edu From there, simply login using your UMBC credentials and you will be brought to the Pharos mobile printing interface. 


Now you can upload your files, preview your print jobs, and even customize color pages and choose double or single sided pages. After that, just go to any Pharos station in the Library or in the Engineering building and swipe your Campus ID Card at the printer to print the files you have uploaded.

On iOS, users can follow the same steps as the Mac and Windows version by going to mobileprint.umbc.edu on their iOS device. Users can also visit the App store and download the Pharos Print app. 

After downloading, launch the app and type in mobileprint.umbc.edu for the "Server Address" and 443 for "Server Port" and press "Connect". Then, type your UMBC credentials and log in. Wherever your file is located, you will need to select the “Open In” function and then select “Open in Pharos Print” which will open a window with details on the file and print options. The "Open In" function can be found in several apps, including Google Drive, Box, and Safari. 


The Pharos Mobile Print app is still in development for Android and will be released sometime in 2015. Users can still print using their Android devices by opening Google Chrome by tapping the three vertical dots icon on the top right-hand corner of the screen to bring up “Request desktop site”. From there, go to mobileprint.umbc.edu and follow the same steps listed for Mac and Windows users.
