[FirstSpirit Cloud] Change of patch day schedule

*** for german version see below ***

Dear customers and partners,

In order to provide an even more regular and reliable schedule for FirstSpirit updates, we will be changing the patch day schedule starting in August. From that point on, patch days will take place every 4 weeks, instead of once per month. 

To give you a better overview of the upcoming patch days, we have set up a calendar. You can subscribe to this calendar with the following URL https://www.e-Spirit.com/patchday-calendar.

As before, we will inform you about the upcoming downtime at least 5 days before the DEV/QA patch day, via email.

Here is a list the remaining patch days for 2021

Greetings!

The Patchday Calender seems to have no entries for 2023 so far!?
https://www.e-spirit.com/patchday-calendar

Has it moved to a different location or is discontinued?

I found it very helpful!

Cheers

Hi @ince,

I want to attach to the question of @cpe.

Could you please update the patchday calendar with the schedule for 2023? - This is very helpful and without the calendar we don't have in mind every single patchday on the different stages. 

Greetings
Sandro

Hi Sandro @bIT_sosswald  

Hi Connz @cpe 

thanks for feedback. 

Since the migration from G Suite to Microsoft the patch day calendar is no longer working properly. 

We're working on an alternative solution. 

In the meantime, I would like to share the upcoming patch days until August 2023. If there is reschedule or change with the dates, you would get an information anyway.

Hopefully that helps you for now: 

08.02.2023 DEV/QA (finished)

15.02.2023 PROD (finished today)

 

08.03.2023 DEV/QA 

15.03.2023 PROD 

 

05.04.2023 DEV/QA 

12.04.2023 PROD 

 

03.05.2023 DEV/QA

Hi, 

Has an alternative been found? Could you share the patch day dates for 2024?
I know there ia a general heartbeat, but having the dates in advance helps internal development release decisions. 

Kind regards, 

Nicholas 

Hi Nicholas, 

thanks for reaching out. All the 2024 Patch Days can be found in a newer posting. Here is the link.
