<Title>Known Issues with Enrollment of Bb Courses</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><strong>UPDATE: 1/24/12</strong>
    
    As of 10:30 a.m. today, course enrollment updates are now occurring hourly.
    
    <u><strong>Current SA to Bb Update Schedule</strong></u>:
    
    <li> New user updates - top of the hour
    </li><li> New enrollment updates - bottom of the hour
    </li><li> New course updates - daily at 2:15 a.m.
    
    <hr>
    As reported previously, there have been a number of issues with auto creation and enrollment of Blackboard courses since the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2011/12/blackboard_lear.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">December 23 upgrade</a>:
    
    <strong>12/29/11</strong>: <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2011/12/sp2012_bb_cours.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Spring 2012 Bb courses were auto created but auto enrollment is still once a day</a>
    <strong>12/28/11</strong>: <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2011/12/wt2012_bb_cours.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bb auto enrollment changed from every two hours to once a day</a>
    <strong>12/26/11</strong>: <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2011/12/doit_reports_is.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Winter 2012 courses were manually created by hand, not auto created</a>
    
    Basically, DoIT has had to completely re-engineer Bb's integration with the Student Administration (SA) system, a project we'd planned for Summer 2012. Good news? It is nearly completed and appears to be working. Bad news? It is not fully tested.</li></div>

<Title>Resolved: Slow RT (Request Tracker) Performance</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><strong>UPDATE</strong>
    
    DoIT staff have identified an issue with the system storage which has been fixed. Please contact DoIT if you are still experiencing the slowness identified earlier today.
    <hr>
    DoIT has received several reports of sluggish performance of the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">RT (Request Tracker) ticketing system</a>. Initial attempts to adjust the system memory resources have not been successful, so DoIT staff members are exploring possible hardware issues. 
    
    The Technology Support Center (TSC) can still be reached at 410.455.3838, but RT's current issues will affect the TSC staff's ability to update existing tickets. Meanwhile, several IT-related frequently asked questions (FAQs) are available from the myUMBC help menu or directly at <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/faq" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">www.umbc.edu/faq</a>.
    
    DoIT will update the campus when we know more.</div>
