CWS/CMS connections through the Gold Camp facility will failover to either the Orange or Vacaville Data Center facilities while the change is in progress. CWS/CMS users may experience a slightly longer time than usual to connect to the CWS/CMS application while the network looks for connections to the other two Data Centers. No interruption in service is expected for the CWS/CMS application during this activity.
There is no impact to connectivity to CWS-CARES.
Action Required
CWS/CMS Users: If users experience any issues with CWS/CMS, please follow your county process for reporting issues, or you may contact the IBM Boulder Help Desk at 1-800-428-8268.

CWS/CMS Training Portal Migration
All SPOCs and Training Coordinators:
November 20, 2023 UPDATE: Previously, a CWS/CMS user was able to access the Training Portal through the CWS/CMS application. After migrating to the new CWDS website, that functionality is no longer functional. On November 3, 2023, System Change Request (SCR) 8980 was successfully implemented in the CWS/CMS application to now direct the user to the new Training Portal location. The user will now need to enter their login credentials.
The CWDS Office is researching options to return the previous functionality to allow access from the CWS/CMS application to the CWDS Training Portal without the need to enter additional login credentials. There is no current ETA when this functionality could return. Additional communications will be shared when the situation has changed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
We want to inform you that the Training Portal is being migrated to the CWDS Web Site on November 3, 2023.
The Training Portal will be migrated to a new web page on the CWDS Web Site. The Training Portal will go live on November 3, 2023, under the Stakeholder Resources tab on the CWDS website. See below for screenshot of new location.
Also, effective November 1st, the CWS/CMS Portals link on the CWDS Web Site will be renamed to “CWDS Portals.” All portal links on the current CWS/CMS Portals Site will redirect users to the new CWDS Web Site portal location from November 3 – December 31. The current CWS/CMS Portals page will be completely decommissioned on January 1, 2024.
Please remember to update your favorite bookmarks to the new URL.
Currently, a CWS/CMS application user can access the existing Training Portal through the CWS/CMS application, via the Help drop-down menu. This takes the user to the Training Portal and does not require the user to enter a username and password. However, upon migration of the Training Portal on November 3, 2023 to the new site, this capability will no longer be functional. Due to technical and security constraints, CWDS is exploring all options to restore this capability in the CWS/CMS Application.
The existing Navigating the Training Portal document will be updated and made available soon.
The new Training Portal site will include:
CWS/CMS Website Portal Registration and Password Reset
Between 11/1/23 – 11/3/23, the registration process/alerts as well as the reset password capability will not be operational. Please contact CWS_AppSupport@osi.ca.gov for any issues in registering for the site.
Action Required
Please review the new Training Portal information with personnel. If you have any questions or concerns with the migration, please contact Application Support at CWS_AppSupport@osi.ca.gov .

Continuation of CWS/CMS C# Migration Code Testing - REMINDER
All CWS Directors, Probation Chiefs, SPOCs, and Technical Contacts:
The CWS/CMS migration from Visual Basic 6 (VB6) to C# code project is still in progress to ensure that the CWS/CMS Application runs on a supported platform. As many are aware, VB6 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Recently a phase of testing was conducted with Co-Existent and Dedicated County participants that uncovered some issues that have been fixed and some that need to be retested. Therefore, at this time we would like to resume C# testing with county users.
The next phase of the resumed C# testing is planned to last four weeks, beginning December 11, 2023, through December 21, 2023, with a brief break for the holidays and resuming on January 8, 2024, then concluding January 18, 2024. We are looking for both Dedicated and Co-Existent Counties who can participate to join a County Test Workshop (CTW) to further test the C# code. We would like to get as much participation from both Dedicated and Co-Existent Counties to make this a success.
Server Based Computing (SBC) soft tokens is the sole tool that will be used to connect to the CTW environment for this phase of testing.
We are looking for testers that have a broad knowledge of the CWS/CMS Application and can simulate case actions that reflect daily work performed by social workers.
The CTW will be structured so that participating testers will receive both broadly defined scenarios to test various areas of the CWS/CMS application along with a list of Incidents that have been identified in previous CTWs that require retesting. In addition, testers will be asked to perform volume, robust testing of the C# code to see if it can handle various activities to support the way daily child welfare activities are performed by social workers. A few examples of testing scenarios might instruct testers to open a form after multiple cases are opened, close and reopen cases, access different areas of CWS/CMS, perform searches, and then try to perform additional actions in CWS/CMS to see how well the C# code handles the workload.
CWS/CMS C# CTW Schedule
CWDS is seeking fifteen (15) County staff members for each of the sessions below (two (2) sessions per day):
CWDS is seeking twenty (20) County staff members for each of the sessions below (two (2) sessions per day):
