NeSIS eNews - July 2025 [cid:233edc5a-c8d6-40c6-bf4b-3e0277f499c2] [cid:d7c46f22-b972-43f4-8f59-ee50a0e292eb] Coming Soon!! New Multi-Job Processor Run Control – Your New Favorite Time Saver!
Wait, what’s a Multi-Job Processor?!
Great question! Think of it as the next generation of the Job Builder—only better. This new modification will allow you to group multiple run controls together and kick them all off with a single click. That’s right, one click to run them all!
Why is this awesome?
Imagine bundling all your frequently-used jobs—daily, weekly, or even monthly—and running them all at once. No more setting them up one by one, no more forgotten steps.

Here’s how it can help you:
* Simplified Scheduling: If you submit jobs to Production Scheduling, you’ll only need to schedule one job. Less paperwork. Less confusion. * Daily Efficiency: Group your routine jobs and run them all with a single click. Quick and easy! * No More Interruptions: If you get pulled away mid-process (thanks, ringing phone!), this ensures all your jobs still get done—and in the right order.
In short, the Multi-Job Processor can save serious time, reduce errors, and keep your processes running smoothly.
A Quick Heads-Up...
While this tool is powerful, there’s one important caveat:
* If your jobs can’t run at the same time even if another campus is running, this might not be the best fit for Production Scheduling. That team can only “see” the Multi-Job Processor job itself, not the individual jobs inside it, so they won’t be able to prevent overlapping runs.

[cid:2cc38127-2cb3-4ec6-8cc0-88a7e841854a] 2025 Accessibility Review Project Update
As NeSIS embarks on the 2025 Accessibility Review project, we have been evaluating strategies for how best to conduct the review and developing a process for implementing any required changes. NeSIS identified an axe-core tool that was loaded in the lower instances that automatically runs in the background and collects accessibility analytics on webpages as they are utilized during normal work activity.
NeSIS recently conducted an internal testing session to generate data and are currently working on evaluating the results. We plan to refine this process and have it collecting data during the PUM testing cycle this fall. This will allow us to leverage the testing already being done, simultaneously minimizing campus effort, and maximizing data coverage.

The NeSIS team is pleased to announce the successful upgrade of WebFOCUS from version 8.2.07.28.10 to version 9.2.3. This significant enhancement brings improved performance, modernized features, and a more robust reporting environment for campuses across the system.
This upgrade was a true team effort. Campus WebFOCUS administrators played a pivotal role by providing detailed insights into existing processes, conducting thorough testing, and validating functionality in the new environment. Their expertise ensured a smooth transition with minimal disruption. The production scheduling team contributed by rigorously testing and implementing scheduling features in the upgraded system, ensuring continuity and reliability of scheduled reports.
Support from the hosting and systems teams was instrumental in managing hardware resources, configuring F5 ASM and URLs, and facilitating the database migration. Their behind-the-scenes work laid the technical foundation for a stable and secure environment. Additionally, the security operations team ensured that campus users retained consistent access to the new systems, maintaining the integrity and accessibility of data throughout the transition.
This upgrade marks a major milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing reliable, efficient, and secure reporting tools for our campuses and we look forward to investigating new features and functionality with the campus WebFOCUS admins.
Thank you to all teams involved for your dedication and collaboration!
