    Oracle database internal storage parameter reached its configuration value limit, resulted in database un-responsive for most of the on-line activity.
    Ex Libris engineers restarted environment components to bring it back to full functionality and configuration adjustments were applied.

    The changes that were done following July 8th disruption didn’t eliminate the database issues but improved the recovery time and the impact of such scenarios.

    How is Uptime Calculated?

    The uptime calculation is based on the following calculation (as defined in the Service Level Agreement):

    "Uptime" means the total period in minutes during which the Service is available for access and use during this period.

     

    Uptime Percentage” means Uptime expressed as a percentage, calculated in accordance with the following formula:   

      

     Uptime Percentage = X /(Y–Z) × 100    

    Where: 

      X = Uptime

      Y = Last 12 months period

      Z = The duration (in minutes) of any SLA Exclusions* during these 12 months

     

    *SLA exclusions are defined in the contract SLA (e.g. Scheduled maintenance, etc.)
