UPDATE: Applicant Submission Issue

Here is a recap of the issue we experienced on Friday, June 5, 2009.

Date/Time: June 5, 2009 2:06 – 2:56 pm EDT

Issue: Submissions were not being accepted into the system as a result of a shortage of free space on one of the database drives. The database archive logs reached the allotted space capacity and caused the database to become unavailable.

Impact: Applicants were unable to submit applications.

Resolution: Database system maintenance returned sufficient space to the system to allow submissions to be accepted. The database archive log scripts have been adjusted to free up more database space.

Follow-up Actions: The Technical Augmentation Design (Boost) will add additional database space. Until the Boost is implemented Database maintenance procedures are being reviewed, modified, and followed to prevent a recurrence of the issue.
