[OKDXA] Logbook of The World Expected to Be Back Online on November 9

[N5PA]

The Log Book of the World server is down and will not come back up until
Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. CST.  I have not heard what caused it to fail,
but it appears by the article posted on their website and in their weekly
email release, that they know what caused it:

Logbook of The World Expected to Be Back Online on November 9

 

ARRL Information Technology Manager Michael Keane, K1MK, is reporting that
while Logbook of The World (LoTW) system is currently down, it is expected
to be back up by 9 AM EST (1400 UTC) on Friday, November 9.  "While the
system is temporarily down, radio amateurs are not able to access LoTW or
upload their logs," Keane explained. "No data has been lost, and everyone's
records are intact. We understand the problem and 

we are in the process of restoring service to LoTW. Since both the Logbook
of The World service and the Online DXCC service are connected to the ARRL
Awards System, radio amateurs are not able to access either service until
the system is restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,
and want to assure the amateur community that the ARRL is working diligently
to restore service to these popular programs."

It will be interesting to find out what the issue is.  We had one of our
Progress databases get corrupted this week and we have been doing the index
rebuild for two days and it is has not completed rebuilding.  So I know what
they are going through.  We have never had an issue with our Oracle, DB2, MS
SQL, MySQL, or Universe databases, though.  This is the first time in ten
years we have ever had a problem with the Progress database.  The more
technology you own, the more problems you will have!
