Ιστορικό διακοπών του University Of Alaska

We have received reports that Banner Admin is currently experiencing issues at login. A workaround has been identified for some users: attempt to load https://banner.alaska.edu/ in new incognito/private browser windows until the login screen successfully loads. The OIT Enterprise Applications Services (EAS) team is currently investigating, and we will be making updates at 1-hour intervals. Thank you for your patience during the resolution of this issue!

Ellucian, the vendor for Banner, has identified the issue and implemented a fix, which is being monitored for effectiveness and stability. Thank you again for your patience during the resolution of this issue! You can expect another update at the end of the business day (5:00PM) or if new information becomes available.

The fix applied to Banner Admin has remained stable, and we are considering the outage resolved at this time. Please report any continued issues with this service to your campus's IT helpdesk, and thank you again for your patience during its resolution!

UAOnline and Banner Admin Login Issue Problem Impact Analysis Event Occurrence: May 28, 2026 4am to 11:15am, May 29, 2026 4am to 9am # Background UAOnline is the self service portal for Ellucian Banner used as the university’s Enterprise Resource Planning \(ERP\) system. These systems are hosted in Ellucian cloud and require period maintenance including security certificate updates for trust between UA and Ellucian systems. The Banner software periodically has system defects that are addressed by daily application restarts. # Break Down of the Problem ‌ On May 28th at 6:56am, a notice was sent to the Banner team through slack that a person was receiving an error when attempting to access the Employee Dashboard. The vendor Ellucian was notified of the event and identified the issue and implemented a work around. On May 29th at 8:11am, the same issue was reported through the Banner team slack channel for Banner Admin. The same ticket opened the prior day was used to report the issue and they used the same work around from the day before to restore service prior to 9:00am. # Target State / Goal Banner self service \(Employee Dashboard\) and Banner Admin services should be available to customers 24/7 except during pre-defined maintenance windows. # Root Cause Analysis ‌ Ellucian in preparation for an upcoming security certificate renewal staged changes in the production environment for the following weekend’s activity. There were mitigations in place due to Banner product defects that would restart Banner service instances daily at 4am. The restart process triggered the inclusion of these new certificates, causing a mismatch of certificates that prevented Single Sign On services from connecting for both Banner admin and the employee self service module. # Develop Countermeasures ‌ * Complete the implementation of the new certificates. * Provide feedback to the vendor to ensure their staff are properly equipped to avoid this in the future. # Implementation of Countermeasures May 30, 7:00 PM: Complete implementation of certificate change over for the whole system. June 2, 11:00AM: Convey feedback to vendor on how they need to change. # Follow Up / Review May 30-31: Validate certificate replacement is working for all systems. June 2: Vendor notified and RCA was provided by vendor, confirming what occurred.

UAOnline Partial Outages Problem Impact Analysis Event Occurrence: March \[15, 17, 20 , 23\] 2026 Employee Self Service; April 2, 2026 Employee Self Service; April 7, 2026 Finance Self Service; April 8, 2026 General Self Service  # Background UAOnline is the self service portal for Ellucian Banner used as the university’s Enterprise Resource Planning \(ERP\) system. Banner and UAOnline are hosted by the vendor Ellucian, also the maker of the product. From time to time during initial validation of new upgrades, not all defects are experienced. The self service components of Banner include General, Employee, Finance, and Student self service. All of these are separate applications that are made available under the heading UAOnline and navigable between each area after initial login.  # Break Down of the Problem Initially Employee Self Service \(ESS\) was impacted with unavailability on March 15, 17, and 20. Upon report of an issue with the instance the vendor was notified and the corrective action was to restart the service. Noted during these times that some end users were able to access the platform while others could not. On March 20th the service owner escalated further related to this issue. Ellucian shared 2 product defects related to ESS that they expected to cause the issue scheduled of the UA production environment in May.  Ellucian recommends instituting daily restarts of the Employee Self Service instances to occur in the UA daily maintenance window of 4am to 5am. The earliest Ellucian could schedule was March 25, resulting in another outage on March 23rd and an escalation response to Ellucian to restore service. On April 2nd, after mitigation was in place, ESS failed again and Ellucian further escalated to prepare a fix to address the product defect specifically for ESS. A patched version of ESS was deployed on April 3rd in TEST and validation was reported back to Ellucian on April 6th to go into production. Further issues with ESS were not identified. On April 7th, Finance Self Service\(FSS\) went down and was reported to Ellucian and Ellucian configured daily restarts. April 8th, General Self Service \(GSS\) was reported down and escalations were entered with Ellucian. On April 10, all self service apps were scheduled to be updated similarly to ESS with daily restarts. All but GSS were successful with this update. ‌ # Target State / Goal  The Banner and UAOnline services should be available 24 hours a day 7 days a week with the exception of scheduled and planned down time including the daily maintenance window. The system should always be responsive. # Root Cause Analysis  Ellucian’s review of the application hosts that were failing showed the available disk filling up related to a large amount of logs being created in a very short period of time. Ellucian attempted to mitigate this with a daily restart, but demonstrated during this time that the issue could manifest in just a few hours. Ellucian traced to specific product defects that they believed were causing the excessive logging issue. They attempted to mitigate this issue by establishing daily restarts and by creating a non-standard custom WAR file for deployment and management of each Self Service Application. Ellucian later discovered that there was a bug in the text manager product component that when using a MEP environment like UA has, could cause the excessive generation of error log messages which is likely what was filling the disk. Ellucian has released an update for each of the Self Service applications out of band to address the product defect.  # Develop Countermeasures  * Deploy updated version of self service software that addresses the product defect. # Implementation of Countermeasures ‌ * May 10, 2026 - All self service application with the expectation of Employee Self Service \(ESS\) will be updated to the version where the underlying product defect is corrected. ESS has a new defect that will prevent immediate updating.  * Future - Apply ESS tier 2 update which corrects the product defect, when the other dependent product defect is resolved.  ‌ # Follow Up / Review ‌ May 11, 2026: Verify all self service applications are working as expected.  July 5, 2026: Verify status of ESS to be upgraded.

UA Google User Access Interruption Problem Impact Analysis Event Occurrence: Monday March 9th @ 1:24 PM # Background UA Google Workspace is the primary cloud collaboration service provided by UA OIT to all UA users. At its most basic functions, it provides email inboxes to all users, as well as access to tools such as Docs, Drive, Sheets, and more. # Break Down of the Problem On Monday March 9th at approximately 1:00 PM, OIT PAWs began to conduct a planned activity within UA Workspace that applied archive license status to a predetermined set of accounts that exceeded the recently established account retention policies for cloud services such as Google. ‌ At approximately 1:24 PM, PAWS was notified by UAF NTS via Slack that several users had reached out to the NTS Service Desk, indicating that their access to UA Workspace has been terminated. OIT PAWs began investigating the matter alongside NTS Technicians. At approximately 2:10 PM, the account archival process was halted. NTS SD Technicians were able to assist with immediate account extensions for users who reached out, alongside an un-archival of their user accounts in Workspace. A rollback of the process was initiated, and completed by approximately 3:30 PM. # Target State / Goal  All UA users with active status with UA should retain access to their UA Google Workspace accounts. # Root Cause Analysis  Investigations with NTS SD Technicians pointed to a common cause: incorrectly extended accounts. The affected accounts all had extended AD statuses, but had mistakenly not been assigned one of the roles used to identify active user accounts. For the most part, this pointed to alumni users that were missing the  \`UAF\_Patrons\` role, but also included at least one service account missing a similar role.Of the ~8000/100 000 records processed during this time, we were able to identify approximately 13 user accounts that may have been impacted by this. # Develop Countermeasures  NTS SD Technicians began immediate outreach to members of the UA AD team to capture a list of users that may have inappropriately extended accounts \(e.g. missing role types\), in an effort to remediate misidentifying users. ‌ In addition, we would proactively remove any active AD user from archival processing in favor of manual review to avoid similar issues with incorrect account statuses and roles. # Implementation of Countermeasures User filtering criteria were updated immediately. Additionally, this activity was put through UA CAB later the same week for increased visibility. # Follow Up / Review This activity was completed later in the week, on March 12, with no further incident.
