RE: COMMON site down..

Pete,

You're right. I'm just too used to having clients insist on 24hr
uptime...force of habit...and I'm too used to iSeries being up round the
clock...

Ugh!

Well, I guess I have seen IBM do maintenance over a weekend on Business
Partner sites and certainly Fix Central has had unadvertised outages.

As a single person shop myself, if I have an OS upgrade or some
extensive maintenance and only one i to run it on (no backup or DR
machine to "cover" for me) then, yeah, I have to inconvenience customers
with an outage.

This is the first time in years that there has been a planned outage on
the Common site to my knowledge. I don't think it reflects badly on
Common OR or the i.

IMHO....

Pete

site is DOWN until next MONDAY???



This isn't goodness. Especially for an iSeries group that's touting their
systems as being 24x7x365,etc.
