Maintenance schedule
Due to the increased functionality deployed to the HEP test environments, we will be carrying out more frequent maintenance as shown in the revised schedules. This will ensure that any changes we make to the production environment can be reflected in the test environments, as well as giving us deployment windows to release new and updated functionality.
We’ll send reminders of maintenance and their associated outages (or notice that they are cancelled) in this bulletin. We will also post details of maintenance that has taken place on the test environments page of ucas.com.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience with this revised schedule. If you have any questions, please contact your Technical Relationship Manager.
Decommissioning the legacy environment
We’ll shortly be decommissioning the test environment (HEI T2), as this is built on legacy infrastructure and no longer presents any production service. We’re aware some providers had been using it for Clearing testing prior to the HEP2 environment being made available, so decommissioning will not start until logs clearly show it’s no longer in use.
If you’ve been using the legacy environment, please contact your Technical Relationship Manager to discuss migrating your testing to a more up-to-date environment.
