Cascade CMS unavailable Nov. 26 to Dec. 1 for upgrade

Nov. 25, 2008

The Cascade Content Management System (CMS) will be unavailable Wednesday, Nov. 26 to Monday, Dec. 1 while we will upgrade our installation.

Cascade CMS will be back up and running on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Please note, that this will not affect any content already published to the Web.

Deletion of ALL old file versions

Cascade CMS currently allows for the storage of unlimited past versions of every file. This hurts speed and must be adjusted in order to upgrade.

There will be a limit of 25 old versions for each file moving forward. This number allows for a reasonable level of backup, while not putting too much strain on system performance.

All old versions of files will be removed during Thanksgiving break in order to enact the new limit.

Questions and Concerns

No action is necessary for either of these changes other than to be aware and prepared. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Cascade CMS.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at wmd@brandeis.edu.
