The latest version of Degree Works that we are moving our hosted schools to in 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, Adobe will be discontinuing their Flash application, which is used in Shepentry and Surecode, the configuration tools for Degree Works. To ensure that Degree Works is operational in 2021, we need to move our hosted institution to the 5.0.3 version before that deadline.

As we upgrade both your Test and Production environments there will be downtime. The specific dates and times for outages have not been determined

In the 4.1.5 release a new version of Scribe that runs in a browser was introduced.  With the 5.0.0 release the PC version of Scribe is no longer functional.  Only Web-based Scribe is available in the 5.0.3 release.

Yes. You may continue to use PC Transit while you verify the functionality in the web-based Transit application. However, a job launched in web-based Transit cannot be viewed or managed by PC Transit, or vice versa.

With the 5.0.3 release, Shepentry and SureCode were combined into a single new application named “Controller”.  SureCode and Shepentry (delivered in DWshell) use a development tool called Adobe Flex which is based on Adobe Flash.  Adobe is discontinuing the Flash component effective December 31, 2020 – so, those applications will stop working at the end of 2020.  The new Controller component is the replacement for Shepentry and SureCode.
