Upgraded to Q2 2017 CU1 Saas 3200.0.1 FDO

Overnight our production system was upgraded to Q2 2017 CU1 which in 3200.0.1.

No slow downs, roles appear to be keeping the right permissions.  rubrics are still available. 

This is great since Summer Sessions begin Monday.

My only concern and I will continue to question this... the only way I know what 3200.0.1 means is to do a search on Behind the Blackboard.

The FDO page on help.blackboard.com,

https://help.blackboard.com/Learn/Administrator/SaaS/About_Learn_SaaS_Deployment/Learn_SaaS_Plus_and_Advantage_Options/Flexible_Deployment_Option

is an appropriate overview but does not give me the details I need to understand what exactly what version I had.

I keep hoping for the "Code Book" ! 

May 12, 2017 - Last day of the semester

We are finishing our first semester on SaaS.  I am happy to say our move to SaaS has been a success!  

Yes, there were hiccups (custom theme and 2 3rd-party buildings not being as ready as they should have been).  AWS went down twice.  

Theme issue was resolved and should not be a problem for new SaaS clients.  Kaltura and EvaluationKIT B2s were fixed by Blackboard.

My "take-aways" from this first semester were: 

1. Appreciation for our faculty as they supported this move to SaaS with worked with me through the "hiccups".  

2. Ease of working with Bb Support in resolving issues.  Support's commitment to supporting us when we need them was and is outstanding!
