High Security ITS managed SQL Server systems will be impacted by July 2024 Infrastructure Day work. Expect brief outages of some services running on or utilizing SQL Server databases, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

Disruptions are estimated to last 5 minutes; however, some may extend longer. Existing or new connections to the database may fail as part of this work, ex. an active SQL job may fail and may require review/restart. It is recommended that you review your services for any errors or reschedule processes to avoid this window.

If you are unsure if your database services will be impacted, please contact the SQL Server DBA team at ITS-SQL-Help@uiowa.edu

Oracle servers will be impacted with the July Infrastructure Day work by EI. All Oracle databases are likely to be impacted due to dependencies. Expect intermittent communication loss for services running on or utilizing the following Oracle servers: FPROD-DB, HOAGIE, HPROD-DB, POPO, ZWIEBACK and BARLEY, CREPE, FDEV-DB, HDEV-DB.

Additional services utilizing any of the Oracle databases may be impacted as well. Disruptions are estimated to last 5 minutes but there may be multiple disruptions. 

Existing or new connections to the database may fail, such as a running SQL job that may need to be restarted. We recommend suspending jobs during the outage. Please review your services for any errors or reschedule processes to avoid this window.
