Global AEM @torontomu.ca email replacements scheduled for Saturday, January 21

Digital Publishing will be replacing all “@ryerson.ca” emails with “@torontomu.ca” in AEM website content on Saturday, January 21, 2023 between 6 a.m and 4 p.m. AEM Author (both Production and Development) will not be available during this time.

This email outlines important information related to the replacement that should be reviewed before January 21:

1. No exclusions to “@ryerson.ca” replacements
2. Inventory content
3. HTML snippets & locked pages
4. Post-replacement verification

1. No exclusions to “@ryerson.ca” replacements

All “@ryerson.ca” emails will be replaced with “@torontomu.ca”. This includes emails in web page content (visible and source code) and asset properties (title, description). Only emails that end in “@ryerson.ca” will be replaced. If you have an email that contains a subdomain such as “name@ee.ryerson.ca”, it will not be replaced with “@torontomu.ca”. The global find and replace does not have any exclusion scenarios (except for HTML snippets & locked pages, see #3 below). 

2. Inventory your relevant “@ryerson.ca” content

If you have instructional or FAQ information that includes “@ryerson.ca”, the text will be changed to “@torontomu.ca” during the global replacement.  An example of this type of page content:

“I have a @ryerson.ca email account. What is going to happen to it now that the university has been renamed?”

For instances such as this where you need to retain “@ryerson.ca”, we recommend creating an inventory of these pages ahead of the replacement, and then manually edit the email after January 21.  

We have created a list of all pages and assets that contain instances of “@ryerson.ca”. If you are unsure where “@ryerson.ca” is present in your content, feel free to review the following documents:

1. Production content: Full list of webpages and assets that contain @torontomu.ca emails (> 28,000 pages)  (LINK REMOVED)
   
2. Development content: Full list of webpages and assets that contain @torontomu.ca emails (LINK REMOVED)

3. HTML snippets & Locked pages

• HTML snippet components containing “@ryerson.ca” must be manually updated by the site author. 
• Locked pages containing “@ryerson.ca” emails will be replaced with “@torontomu.ca”; however, the page will not be published with this change. Authors must unlock and publish these pages.

4.  Verifying page replacements

If you wish to verify that a replacement has been made, open your page, click the page information icon (1) and select “See Page Replacement History” (2).

There may be some instances that require republishing from the AEM author environment. If you notice that a page does not have an updated “@ryerson.ca” email address, check the page in AEM to verify the updated email. Then republish.

Thank you,

Digital Publishing, CCS
