Scheduled downtime of some central components of the EWP Network: DEV Stats Portal and Monitoring system, DEV Registration Portal, EWP DEMO Testbed.

EWP Network DEMO Testbed scheduled downtime: 08/08/2024

EWP Network DEMO Testbed scheduled downtime

Date: 09/08/2024 - 10/08/2024

Due to scheduled service work in the server room power infrastructure, we expect a downtime of three servers of the EWP Network’s DEMO Testbed from Friday, August 9, 4:00 p.m. to Saturday, August 10, 11:00 p.m. Systems affected:

DEMO adm (https://usosadm.demo.usos.edu.pl) – demo system for administration of a sending institution.
HEI adm (https://usosadm-hei.demo.usos.edu.pl) – demo system for administration of a receiving institution.
USOSweb (https://usosweb-hei.demo.usos.edu.pl) – demo portal for students and mobility coordinators.

The systems are for demonstration purposes only. Their downtime will not affect any real-life processes of the EWP network.

EWP Network DEMO Testbed scheduled downtime	Date: 08/08/2024
Attention! Change of schedule: instead of facing a continuous 36+ hr downtime, we opted to transfer the systems to a new platform, which will result in a reduced downtime. The transfer will take place on Thursday, 2024-08-08, sometime after 4 p.m. CEST (UTC+2). Apologies for the late notification. On the bright side, the expected downtime is expected to be about 1 hour.
