Maintenance Window

Updates to CPP's web infrastructure will be done every Thursday from 9:30 - 11:59pm. During this time publishing will not be available through Cascade.

January 20, 2022 - The production workflows in Cascade will be updated on Thursday January 20 from 7:00am to 8:00am. The new simplified production workflow for publishers requires fewer steps for publisher approval. Publishers will no longer receive an email about their own workflow and they will not have to assign it to themselves and approve. This update does not affect the production workflow for editors, which will remain the same.

April 29, 2021 - Cascade's publishing servers will be undergoing maintance on Thursday April 29 from 9:30pm to 12am. You will not be able to publish anything during this time to either test or production.

April 1, 2021 - Cascade will have an outage from 5:00am to 6:00am while the vendor does maintance (not an April fools joke).

September 9, 2020. There may be a brief publishing outage while a change is applied to Cascade during the change window this Thursday 09-10-2020 21:30:00

To support compliance with design, accessibility, and security standards, updates have been made to Cascade that will affect those who can edit and publish content in Cascade.  Specifically, the Cascade “wysiwyg" editor will no longer allow use of the HTML editor.  Prior custom HTML or CSS will remain. If you require updates to prior code customizations, please submit a Web Support Request. Please submit suggestions for features or styles to improve the template by contacting the IT&IP Web Development team at it_webdev@cpp.edu.

Publishers are also asked to capture updates made to cpp.edu websites if they are related to the following topics:  COVID, Coronavirus, tuition, fees, refunds, reimbursements, virtual instruction, and/or remote services.  Specific procedures will be sent out shortly along with a meeting invitation to discuss the procedure and ask questions. 

Also, in the coming week, Division Vice Presidents will be provided a report listing persons in their division who can publish to campus websites.  They will be asked to review the list and update permissions accordingly.       

IT&IP Security & Compliance, IT&IP Web Development, and Strategic Communications have partnered in making these updates.  For questions, contact Carol Gonzales at carolhg@cpp.edu, Tim Raymond at tjraymond@cpp.edu, or Esther Chou Tanaka at estherchou@cpp.edu.

June 8, 2020 Cascade has moved to the cloud. Please use the login button above to log into the new instance of Cascade CMS.
