Planned maintenance

Our 2021 maintenance schedule is available.

Posted Wed 30 June 2021

Technology change freeze:

To protect UCAS systems during the 2021 Confirmation and Clearing period, we are putting a Change Freeze in place for all of our production systems.

The change freeze will begin on 2 July 2021 at 00:01 and will be in place until 15 August 2021 at 23:59. During this time, any changes to production services will need to be approved by an Emergency Change Advisory Board, following a risk and impact assessment. The maintenance planned for 22-25 July has been pre-approved and will take place as per the schedule on UCAS.com.

Please continue to raise incident and request calls with our support team via the self-service support portal. If they require a change to deploy, it will be submitted for consideration as outlined above or delivered once the change freeze has concluded.

Reminder: Reference data update

We updated some existing summer schools reference data on Monday 28 June. If you haven’t already done so, you may need to manually trigger a reference data update to your student record system from the following data sources:

•             xml-link method - 'getReferenceActivitySponsorType'

•             odbc-link view - 'CVREFPREPSPONSOR'

If you have any questions about any of the above, please contact the Service Delivery Management (Technical) team.
