17-21 March 2022: Advance notice of SITS/Portico upgrade

This year’s annual SITS/Portico upgrade to version 10.2 will take place from 4pm on Thursday 17 March until 10am on Monday 21 March 2022. Portico and the SITS client will be unavailable during this time.

Over the next few months the new version of SITS will be tested to ensure the processes and functions you currently use in Portico will continue to operate as expected after the upgrade. Services that take data from Portico, such as Moodle and the timetabling system (CMIS), will also be tested. Using this approach we will be able to detect and resolve any issues at the earliest opportunity, keeping the outage duration and impact on users to a minimum.

Please share this information with your colleagues to help with planning around this down time. Notifications about this planned interruption of service will be placed on the Portico and SITS client login screens a few weeks prior to the outage period.
