TitanConnect Self Service Connection

The TitanConnect Self Service connection was receiving "Page Not Found" errors from the TitanConnect Portal link this morning. This has now been corrected, but there may be some lingering issues.

1. If you are still logged into the TitanConnect Portal, just clicking on the link for TitanConnect Self Service may give you a signon screen that asks for a UserID and PIN. You can enter your "T" (T in CAPS) number or your E-mail account ID (all CAPS) and PIN (birthdate = mmddyy)

OR

2. Logout of the TitanConnect Portal and then Log back in. Clicking on the link may then flash the TitanConnect Self Service page and then give you a "Page Not Found". Exit that window and try again. If that doesn't work Logout and start over again.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

TitanNet G & H Drives and Access at Corktown

Due to a power outage on the Corktown campus, many TitanNet G & H drives may not be reachable.  As you may know, even though users access from the McNichols and Law campuses the majority of stored files are physically situated on a server at the Corktown campus.  In addition, access to TitanNet from the Corktown campus will naturally be down while the power to the server is not available.

Raiser's Edge Server Failure

Late this afternoon our Raiser's Edge server had a hardware failure. Parts will be in tomorrow morning (THURS 11/3). We will rebuild the server and restore the data as quickly as possible, but we're likely looking at some time Friday before the server (and Raiser's Edge) is functional again.
