Advance 9.8.1 Production is Ready
The upgraded production environment is now ready and available! An issue with Crystal reports was discovered by your volunteer testers yesterday, but that problem has been resolved and to our knowledge everything is up and running. The new URL to access 9.8.1 production is: https://advance.apps.maine.edu Your current production username and password should get you in. Please remember it will take the system a while to build a cache, or memory, of pages visited in the new database. You may experience some slowness at first, but things should speed up as you continue to move around the system. While everyone tested as thoroughly as possible, no major upgrade is without glitches. As mentioned before, we ask that you report issues through JIRA. You may submit a ticket directly through JIRA, or by using the 'Submit a Support Ticket' button on the Advance Support Site: http://support.advance.maine.edu We anticipate that the Reporting and Test databases will be ready sometime later today. We will email you when they're available, as well as update the links on the support site. Thanks for all your hard work on this upgrade! Let us know if you have any questions. |

Potential Planned Advance Outage Notification - 4/21 - 6AM - 7AM
Due to maintenance being performed on the storage infrastructure that supports Advance, there is the potential for Advance to have an outage. While we do not expect there to be a problem, we just wanted you to be aware that maintenance is being performed on supporting infrastructure which could affect services. Here are the details: Services Potentially Affected: All Advance Services. Nature of the Outage: Maintenance to data center storage servers. Maintenance Begins: 6AM Sunday, April 21. Maintenance Scheduled to End: 7AM Sunday, April 21. |
All Services Running Normally
The slow response times looks to have been from our file storage servers running slowly. The problem has been fixed and all Advance services should now be running normally. |
