The Oracle Financials planned system upgrade is complete. Users may now access all Oracle Financials systems.
Overview of changes
As part of Stanford’s Renew-Extend-Replace (RER) roadmap, the Oracle upgrade was part of the long-term program to leverage and extend current investments in enterprise systems and infrastructure.
This upgrade was primarily technical with little to no impact on users and resulted in a few minor user interface changes in the standard Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) and custom Apex applications within Oracle Financials.
Examples of these changes included:
- Improved calendar date picker fields
- Static tables are converted to interactive grids
- Other minor user interface updates
Timing and user impact
Stanford intentionally plans the timing of major upgrades in such a way as to minimize user impact and optimize resource planning. As such, the system upgrade started at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 23 and ran through 1 p.m. on Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day holiday). All modules within Oracle Financials, including iProcurement, ERS, etc. were unavailable during this timeframe. In addition, connected systems like OBI, FFIT, and the mobile requisitions app were temporarily affected by the downtime.
