Cascade Web Unplanned Downtime

Cascade Web came down 3/26 at 4:40pm following a restart of the Apache server to restore the use of Banner and Famis to the camano server which had been running on a backup server since Friday.  Cascade Web was unable to start following this reboot and remained down until 10:30pm. 

Other components of the Application Server including Discoverer and Portal remain down as of 8:15am on 3/27.

CRM Down 1/19

CRM experienced periodic outages the morning of January 19 through 1:30 pm.  Information Services was notified of the problem at approximately 11:00 am and began troubleshooting.  The cause was identified at 12:15 pm and a resolution implemented by approximately 1:15 pm.  The system was fully functional by 2:00 pm.

The cause of the failure was due to uncompiled objects in the database, but the root issue that caused the objects to become invalid is unknown.
