Scheduled Maintenance

Maintenance Schedule

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, this month’s REDCap maintenance is scheduled for Wednesday, November 27, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

 

Interim updates are conducted on the last Thursday of every month between 4:00-5:00PM. During this time REDCap will be unavailable. This schedule allows us to consistently maintain REDCap, keeping it up to date with routine patches, bug fixes, and security updates.

Approximately every 6 months, the REDCap version is upgraded. When this occurs, the system will be unavailable from 4:00-6:00pm. This extended downtime is necessary to account for the more complex upgrade process. These version upgrades contain new features and improvements, along with bug/security updates.

Annual server updates may also be conducted. When this occurs, the system will be unavailable from 4:00-6:00pm and may occur in 2 monthly phases. This extended downtime is required to support the more intricate upgrade process.

 

We STRONGLY recommend all users download and save a backup of their project and data (data dictionary, export all data, XML files, PDF collection) routinely and BEFORE any scheduled update. For more information: Managing Your Data.
