NewsConfluencemaintenance, early morning, Wednesday, April 6thWe expect to restart Confluence at 5:30 am Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, April 6th, to install a patched version of the Oracle database driver to solve the problem described in the paragraph below. Confluence will be unavailable for a few minutes while this change takes effect. Some pages showing system error and not page content We received a report on April 4th that some pages, perhaps those with viewing and editing restrictions, are showing an error "Oops - an error has occurred" followed by many lines of technical details instead of the page contents. The cause of this error appears to be a bug in the version of the Oracle database driver we have installed. We expect to install a fixed version of the driver between 5 am and 7 am one morning this week, a process which requires stopping Confluence for a few minutes and then restarting.

Confluence account clean up has been completed on 6/21/2020 Confluence accounts and spaces belonging to graduated students and staff and faculty who have left the university have been removed. Please let us know by writing to confluence at cornell.edu if there are any questions or concerns about this process. Archiving Inactive Spaces Over the years, the amount of content in Confluence has grown so that there are more than 1,700 spaces. Atlassian, the makers of Confluence, tell us that we have a very large Confluence instance. A number of these spaces are inactive, and the content has not been updated for many years sometimes because the original creators and maintainers of the spaces have left the university. In order to keep Confluence running well for the users of actively maintained spaces, we are archiving a number of these inactive spaces. You can see a list under Spaces > Space directory > Archived category. The content remains in place, accessible and editable although it will not appear in search results unless you check the "Search archived spaces" checkbox.The Confluence wiki was unavailable between 6 am and 8:18 am for planned maintenance on Sunday morning, March 27th while we updated the underlying database from Oracle 11.2 to 12c. Change spaces from "Documentation" to "Global Look and Feel" theme Atlassian, the makers of the Confluence wiki, have been announcing for some time that they intend to retire the "Documentation" theme which controls the way some spaces appear. This theme will be replaced by the "Global Look and Feel" theme at the time when we upgrade to version 6.0 6 of Confluence. So far, we have set no date for this upgrade and version 6.0 has not yet been released; however, if Confluence 6.6 is now available and we are planning an upgrade. If your space uses the "Documentation" theme, we encourage you to change the theme now at your leisure in advance of the forced change. We are now in the process of changing any remaining spaces which you have not changed. A space uses the "Documentation" theme if there is a "Browse" option in the top menu. More details. Not finding a Confluence account when adding permissions? Confluence accounts are created at the time a netID holder logs in for the first time. If you see the error "User netID could not be found. Please confirm his or her existence with a Confluence Administrator" then please ask the user to log in to Confluence once to establish an account. After the first log in, you will then be able to add the netID to Confluence space permissions. Confluence account clean up We are starting a process to deactivate Confluence accounts belonging to graduated students and staff and faculty who have left the university. This process is reversible and does not remove pages or other content added by these users. Please let us know by writing to confluence at cornell.edu if there are any questions or concerns about this process.
