Our network manager is aware of the issue and working with our vendors to resolve it as soon as possible.

Problems with CMS Publishing

The Content Management System stopped publishing content to the main web server at about 9:10am this morning. I believe that this problem has been resolved; however, new content will be unlikely to appear on the main web server until after 3:30pm.

If your changes haven’t shown up on the main web server by 4:00 pm, please publish the pages again. Thank you.

Problems with www2.ups.edu

All Database Systems Unavailable – 09.09.08

All central database systems are unavailable.  This service disruption began at 11AM today and services impacted include: Cascade, Cascade Web, Banner, Famis, Basis, CRM and Millennium. Technology Services has determined the source of the disruption to be a power outage and is working with Facilities Services to resolve as quickly as possible.  

UPDATE AS OF 2PM:
Stable power has been restored and Technology Services is now focused on restarting and verifying the database systems.  Every effort is being made to restore services as quickly as possible.  Our earliest continuation of service is estimated at 3pm today.

Cascade Unscheduled Downtime

At 6 AM this morning, a reload of the core switch caused a failure of the network interfaces on the Cascade Web server. This in turn caused the Cascade web interface to be unavailable from 6 to 8:15 this morning. The server was rebooted and recovered, restoring service at approximately 8:15.

Other affected servers were grace, camano, and crystal, all of which were rebooted to restore service at 7:30 AM. Batch job processing was affected between 6 and 7:30 AM.

Banner printing was down

Banner printing from job submission was down from Tuesday afternoon on July 8th (sometime after 3) until 11 a.m. on Wednesday morning, July 9th. The cause was incorrect privileges that had been applied to the banjobsfinances sub-directory on Rainier as the result of a user account change request. The jobs were running, but the reports could not be saved on Rainier and thus were not able to be printed.
