EBS Training is working with agency superusers and Subject Matter Experts to bring you several demonstrations and training resources to make your transition from 8.9 to 9.2 as comfortable as possible.
Interactive Simulations
These learning resources will give you a chance to test-drive some of the new features and changes in the the new environment before go-live. At this time, these simulations are going to be short and sweet and will be used for practice purposes only. They WILL NOT serve as the training required for new users in need of security access.
Quick Tips
These resources will typically be one-page PDF documents that you can print out and access whenever you need a quick reminder about a task. They will also be used post go-live for quick fixes to issues that may arise once the new system is up and running.
Video Demonstrations
Just like the one released today, EBS will utilize video demos to introduce or share information about the upgrade.
Manuals
All of the manuals currently posted on the CIO website are being updated to include new screenshots and any changes to the functions they include. There are a few manuals that were never posted that are also being updated and will be released for the first time. At this pont in the project, the EBS Upgrade Team anticipates there will be only one new manual required. That manual will only be relevant to the three agencies that currently use that specific functionality. The plan is to have all the manuals updated, checked, and posted to the CIO website at least one month before go-live.

Survival Guide to Go-Live - REMINDER
Hard Freeze August 29
Any queries -- public or private -- created, modified, copied, etc., after August 29, 2014, WILL NOT be available in the new 9.2 version when it goes live.
This is latest possible date we can take a copy of our current data and still have time for proper testing and to meet our deadlines for you.
What You Can Do To Prepare:
- Mark your calendar NOW! "Aug. 29 - Query Freeze".
- Do NOT build, modify, or copy queries after Aug. 29.
- Understand that any queries you build, modify, copy, or receive after Aug. 29 will not be available once we Go-Live.
- For Query Managers, if you must build, edit, or copy, decide how you plan to handle those queries after Aug. 29.
- Notify people you regularly assist with new queries -- let them know how you, as a Query Manager, plan to handle your queries after Aug. 29.
- Do not wait until Aug. 29 to develop a plan or to execute a plan.
- If you MUST build, modify, copy, or receive a query after Aug. 29, record the information about it: the name, data included, where it came from, is it public or private?
Don't forget! Queries you provide to others after Aug. 29 will have to be rebuilt and tested thoroughly by you, as the Query Manager, once we are live. Because private queries, are just that -- private -- EBS is limited in what it can do to assist individual users with private queries.
REMEMBER: Public Queries that exist prior to Aug. 29 will be carried over into the upgraded environment, so keep notes on modifications and distribution you may do after Aug. 29.
How is EBS attempting to address private queries that currently exist -- see the June 12 Financials Buzz.
If you are a Query Manager or you have received a copy of a query from a Query Manager, you have received an e-mail from the EBS Financials Upgrade Team.
This e-mail will include a list of the queries that have been copied to you. From this list, we want you to identify queries that are MISSION CRITICAL to your operation. What we receive from you will determine the next steps in the process the EBS Team is working on to assit. What will impede this process is responses that say "all are mission critical" or no reply at all.
 The EBS Upgrade Team is just days away from getting their hands on the new test environment! For those of you keeping track on the map above, we are still carefully balancing on the line between Design and Building. Follow along on your own Milestone Map.
