S1NET Message Summary - 16 Nov 22
1. TAG SENDS: INITIATION
OF IPPS-A BROWNOUT/CUTOVER. From BG Gregory S. Johnson, The Adjutant
General: By now, you may have already learned that yesterday the Army
initiated IPPS-A Release 3 (R3) pre-Go-Live activities. A “brownout
window” of certain Legacy Human Resources (HR) Systems kicked off on 10
November. The “cutover window” was initiated with data from these legacy
HR systems converting for use in IPPS-A R3 at Go-Live. It’s important
to remember that the exact Release 3 Go-Live date is still conditions
based, but I encourage you and your organizations to fully prepare for
implementation/Go live prior to the end of the calendar year. As we’ve
conveyed in earlier messaging, I continue to ask for your support
preparing your organizations and Soldiers for all Brownout and Cutover
(BOCO) activities. Below (at the following link) are a few things to do
as an HR professional to ensure our People are taken care of during
BOCO. Guidance in key functional areas is also highlighted an MILPERs
are attached. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1206506

provide clarity and maybe answer some questions regarding issues
encountered at your level. The most current episode features a
