  • Moving activities to a sidebar or floating window, such as the Notes activity.

Epic Production Scheduled Downtime

Date: Sunday, September 22, 2019

Planned Duration: 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.

Description: The Epic Production system will be brought down from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. on Sunday, September 22, to perform the Epic February 2019 version upgrade and necessary content migration. Epic Hyperspace sessions will be disconnected at the start of the downtime, and any information not saved by that time may be lost. Due to the anticipated length of this downtime, Epic Read-Only will be enabled. Instructions can be found here.

At the conclusion of this downtime, all locked down activities will be released.

Impact: Any Epic users on the system at the start of the downtime will automatically be exited from Epic. In addition, interface traffic will be delayed during the downtime, but will queue and transmit at the conclusion of the downtime. It may take up to 15 minutes after the downtime is complete for the backlog of queued interface traffic to clear.

Other Affected Systems: Upstream and downstream interfaced systems will experience delays in traffic during and immediately after the downtime.
