Reports server bounced, 4/27/2009
The reports server experienced the same problem as last Monday. Bounced the server to see if it resolves the issue. Paul will continue to research the cause of this problem.
Reports Server bounced
Cascade and FAMIS users reported issues receiving their reports that are run through the reports server. Users received an error message saying that job ###### wouldn’t run. When we looked in the reports server (past jobs), that particular job_id did not show up (it was a future job_id!).
Resolution: bounced reports server

CRM application tier bounced at 10:20 am on 10/1/2008
CRM fulfillment experienced an error during the processing of an email (rollback segment problem). Restarting the email caused a runaway cpu-intensive session even though the email was subsequently cancelled.
Cause of runaway session: user created content using the wrong content type (admission content type instead of campus email), which relied on admission data being in the system.
Resolution: We bounced the application server and killed the runaway session. User recreated email with correct content type.
CRM unavailable – 4/25/2008
