http://status.cites.uiuc.edu Summary of Status of CITES Services 18 May 2013 08:57:21 CDT 5 http://status.cites.uiuc.edu/?ENTRY=STAT004719 STAT004719.1363701017 19 Mar 2013 08:50:17 CDT The Campus Email Relays are suffering high daily loads while filtering email and attachments. This will result in 'connection refused' responses during peak traffic times in the mid-morning to mid-afternoon. This is 'normal' SMTP traffic behavior, but the resultant, typically short, email delays may not be typical user experience. Resolutions to; add capacity, reduce message loads, reduce the impact of large message processing, and reduce the impact of internal (compromised) spam sources are being researched and will be implemented as soon as possible.UPDATE: Although this situation does appear to be improving, permanent measures are still being implemented. This status message will remain in place while we continue to monitor and address email relay and scanning capacity. http://status.cites.uiuc.edu/?ENTRY=STAT004763 STAT004763.1368535305 14 May 2013 07:41:45 CDT Illinois Compass will be unavailable during the regularly scheduled downtime on Wednesday, May 22 from 5:00 am until 9:00 am for system patching.

Users can also follow the CITES Status Wiki Page for updates. The direct link can be found here: go.illinois.edu/status Status updates will be done on the Status Wiki site, and CITES Status will be redirected there. Permissions have already been set up for editors of the current CITES Status to use the CITES Wiki page, and detailed instructions and templates are available on the Wiki site. There should be minimal disruption to the service during changeov [...] UPDATE: ARS Dark Day is now ended. Status services are once again being hosted on the CITES Status Page. Please make any status updates or changes to the CITES Status Page; the Emergency Status Wiki Page is back in standby mode. http://status.cites.uiuc.edu/?ENTRY=STAT004768 STAT004768.1368885304 18 May 2013 08:55:04 CDT The CITES Password Manager and NetID Claiming Services will be unavailable for approximately 30 minutes beginning at 6:00 AM on May 16 while a minor upgrade is performed to these services. During this time, these services will not be reachable and users will receive errors in their browsers on access. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. http://status.cites.uiuc.edu/?ENTRY=STAT004767 STAT004767.1368885105 18 May 2013 08:51:45 CDT The CITES website and related sites will be unavailable for 5- 10 minutes for system patching 5/17/2013 between 6am and 7am. http://status.cites.uiuc.edu/?ENTRY=STAT004765 STAT004765.1368884987 18 May 2013 08:49:47 CDT Following the final production data import to Contacts Database on Wed evening 5/15, IPAM will be transitioned to read network and domain permissions data from the new Contacts Database instead of the old Contact Manager. IPAM permissions are updated nightly, so the ultimate effect of this change will not manifest until the early morning hours of Thu 5/16. We do not anticipate any immediate impact to IPAM users as a result of this transition.UPDATE: IPAM has been transitioned successfully. Please notify the Help Desk with any issues at 244-7000 or consult@illinois.edu http://status.cites.uiuc.edu/?ENTRY=STAT004750 STAT004750.1368884933 18 May 2013 08:48:53 CDT The Contacts Manager service will be unavailable after 5pm on 5/15/2013, and will be replaced by a new 'Contacts Database', which will be available by approximately 7pm, after data has been migrated between the two. There will be a window of 1-2 hours where no 'contacts manager' type service will be available, and after which most access to the previous service will be unavailable. After data is migrated the new Contacts Database service will be brought online and made immediately available. All valid data and permissions in the old system will be imported into the new. Due to data divergence, there will be a 24 hour window after which a 'rollback' to the old service will no longer be feasible. If you have critical operations using the Contacts Manager service, please allow for some time on Thursday, May 16, in order to review the new system and identify any potential issues as soon as possible. This status posting will be updated when migration [...] UPDATE: The 24 hour rollback window has now passed, and Contacts Database will now be the sole source of contacts data for CITES. http://status.cites.uiuc.edu/?ENTRY=STAT004764 STAT004764.1368884691 18 May 2013 08:44:51 CDT During the business day on Wed 5/15, Iris and Lens will be transitioned to read network permissions data from the new Contacts Database instead of the old Contact Manager. During the transition window, Iris and Lens users should retain the same permissions they had based on the state of Contact Manager as of 6pm Tue 5/14, and will be able to use Iris and Lens as normal. However, permissions on newly created networks and/or modifications to the permissions on existing networks made in Contact Manager _after_ 6pm Tue 5/14 will not be reflected in the behavior of Iris and Lens until after the final production data import to Contacts Database on Wed evening 5/15.UPDATE: The transition to Contacts Database for Iris and Lens is now complete. Please notify the Help Desk at 244-7000 or consult@illinois.edu with any issues.
