2008-12-29 PowerSchool is back online

Early this morning, PowerSchool came back online after four days of processing database schema updates required for the upgrade to version 5.1.3.

(Tips of the hat to Mike Way of CESA 5 support who worked on this over break, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the weekend, and to Chris Brown for his preliminary testing and ongoing support.)

The schema update should not have taken that long (even though Chris told us to expect that it would); PS Support is investigating the cause.

The server is now at version 5.1.3. Our hope was to be fully upgraded to 5.2.1 by the end of break, so we are evaluating options and tentatively planning to perform the upgrade on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Another post will confirm any planned downtime for the additional upgrade.

Thanks for your patience.
