To support upcoming security enhancements to Oracle systems, we will upgrade Oracle drivers on a variety of centrally hosted SQL Server services. During this maintenance window, services will become sporadically unavailable. Please pause scheduled processes that run against these systems during this time.

Systems impacted include: 

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) systems:

IOWASSISHOST1 
IOWASSISHOST2
IOWASSISHOST3
IOWASSISHOST4

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) systems:

IOWAREPORTS1
IOWAREPORTS2
IOWAREPORTSHOST3
IOWAREPORTS4
BISSCREPORTS1
IOWABIREPORTS1

Contact the ITS SQL Server Database Administration Team at ITS-SQL-Help@uiowa.edu if you have questions or concerns.  

IOWASQLSEC4 will be unavailable intermittently for up to 30 minutes while the system is migrated to a new Windows cluster.

IOWASQLSEC4 will be intermittently unavailable for up to 30 minutes to resolve an issue with Windows clustering services.

IOWASQLSEC4 will be intermittently unavailable for up to 15 minutes during the maintenance window to resolve an issue introduced by the July 2018 Windows security patch. 

IOWAREPORTS3 (SQL Server 2016 Shared SSRS Hosting Service) will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. Some reports on MAUI and Campus Data may be temporarily unavailable during this window, but there should be no impact to the core functionality of either service. SSRS report subscriptions scheduled on this system during the window may not execute or deliver.
