Happy holidays everyone! Miami is closed from 12/24/22 – 1/2/23 for the holiday break, after which we will jump back into the final portions of the project. Those aspects are:

• Effort Reporting
• BDM/JV
• Student Registration
• Student Accounts Receivable
• ePromise
• New Hire Benefits in early 2023
• Benefits Open Enrollment for Fall 2023

Much of the functionality in Banner 9 Self Service is clear to utilize, however, some of the teams have also created short training videos to clarify areas that might prompt questions.

Every December and June we copy production data into our TEST and DEVL environments. This past weekend was our first such copy since implementing the new Banner 9 Self Service baseline functionality to email notify people when their Payroll or Accounts Payable direct deposit info is changed.

After copying production data into DEVL and TEST, for security purposes, we put fake routing and account numbers in place of all the actual direct deposit info.

The refresh itself did NOT trigger the emails. The act of putting in fake routing and account numbers caused the sending of tens of thousands of emails notifying people that their direct deposit info was changed. It was only changed in our DEVL environment.

Before running that same data scramble script in TEST, IT Services was able to disable the table triggers in TEST to prevent sending a second email to all of the same people. We have also updated the refresh documentation noting this issue and the need to disable those triggers in DEVL and TEST.

The refresh did wipe out the email content differences in DEVL and TEST that would have clearly indicated which environment the email came from prior to Banner 9 Self Service. Miami had a piece of custom code in BannerWeb that notified people when their Direct Deposit info was changed through the BannerWeb page.

It is important to note that NO production data was changed.

Hard to believe that we are a few short weeks to the holidays! Time really seems to fly. We continue to move more functionality into Banner 9 Self Service. Over the past  few weeks, the following have been implemented into Banner 9 Self Service:

• W4 reporting
• Work address updates
• Leave Reporting – including training on Miami Learn

Functionality that will become available in the new year:

• Fee Waiver
• Effort Reporting
• Salary Planner
• BDM/JV
• Student Registration
• Student Accounts Receivable
• New Hire Benefits
• Benefits Open Enrollment for Fall 2023
• ePromise
