ProjectWise Upgrade Notice
Friday, May 05, 2023 at 12:19:19 PM
To all ProjectWise Users,
Beginning on May 12th 2023 we will begin our preparations to transition to the new ProjectWise servers. A backup of the existing ProjectWise server will start on May 12th and will last through May 18th. Between the 12th and the 18th you will still have access to our existing ProjectWise database, but at 4:30 pm on May 18th it will be taken offline to transition us over the to the two new servers. The maintenance is expected to last throughout the weekend and ProjectWise services will be unavailable at this time. At the end of the maintenance period, an email will be sent to confirm the ProjectWise server is online and ready for usage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please check in ALL documents including managed exports that you have checked out of ProjectWise BEFORE 5/12. Any managed exports will be lost if they are not checked back in and there are currently about 1,050 files checked out. This scheduled maintenance is in preparation for the upcoming shutdown of the existing ProjectWise system on 5/18 at 4:30 pm. Our goal is to have 0 files checked out of ProjectWise at the time that the scheduled maintenance period begins (5/18). This is to facilitate an accurate backup of the data on the server. If you do not know how to check in a document, please click on the link https://bit.ly/3pg1J9A that shows you how to do so .
If your section has a shared computer, or you have a take-home laptop, please examine those computers for checked-out documents as well, and check them in appropriately before the scheduled maintenance begins.
May 12th will be an initial copy of our existing server. May 18th will be the last chance to save your information.
If documents are not checked in by Friday, 5/18/2023 at 4:30 pm central time, the documents will be FREED in ProjectWise. Freeing a document causes the document not to upload the changes to ProjectWise. You will lose all work if you free a document.
For questions or issues, please contact David.Ringuette@la.gov or Paul.Mandella@la.gov.
