The purpose of this briefing is to alert all administrative offices to the
rollout of new mainframe emulation software, BlueZone,
which is replacing Winsurf.
- The District's current mainframe emulation software (Winsurf) is going out of support and will
be replaced by BlueZone.
- Beginning June 3, 2019, District offices
will begin using the new software, with the intention of
migrating all schools in the fall.
- The application has been tested by ITS and
multiple District offices.
- The BlueZone user interface
looks much like Winsurf, and no training
is necessary prior to migrating to the new software.
- Access BlueZone from the Apps|Services|Sites page in the Portal (not
from the Intranet).
- Log into the BlueZone
application using your 12-character Dadeschools
(network) password.
- Double-click on the terminal and printer icons
to launch the sessions.
- Sign in to the mainframe session using your 8-character password.
- You will have the same terminal and printer IDs in BlueZone as you currently have in Winsurf.
- To implement BlueZone,
please submit a HEAT ticket at https://selfservice.dadeschools.net
so that a technician can download and install the software for
you.
