Confluence restarted, August 24th, early morning 6:30 am EST
On Wednesday, August 24th, at 6:30 am Eastern Standard Time, we restarted the Confluence wiki in order to modify the TomCat configuration settings as advised by Atlassian in order to prevent future outages like those last Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon (August 17th and 18th). The wiki was unavailable for five minutes between 6:30 am and 6:35 am.
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 of Confluence. So far, we have set no date for this upgrade and version 6.0 has not yet been released; however, if your space uses the "Documentation" theme, we encourage you to change the theme now at your leisure in advance of the forced change. 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.
