BJP down
BJP was down for a short period of time due to unknown causes. It went down about 2:55 p.m. and was back up by 3:17 p.m.
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.
Border Router Upgrade
We have successfully upgraded our network Internet Border Router. As you might remember we were experiencing problems with our Internet connection due to our existing Border Router being undersized. We have now successfully upgraded the hardware to properly handle the internet traffic we have experienced and what is projected for this comming academic year. We hope you will realize higher reliability with this new equipment in place.

If you are a content provider who published pages between 3:00 to 3:30 PM, we recommend publishing them again after 5:40 PM. Thank you.
