    A network problem was identified by Ex Libris engineers. The problem was related to an ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) problem.

    After researching the problem with the relevant vendors, Ex Libris engineers identified that planned work done by the Data Center vendor caused the network line used by Ex Libris to be disrupted. The work was performed on the two redundant network lines, resulting in a complete loss of network to the Data Center and within the Data Center itself.

    The service interruption was a result of an application defect that is causing a significant impact on the search engines and get them to a state in which they are not able to function, they consume all the available hardware and become unavailable.

    This defect is becoming evident when there is a significant load one the system, with conjunction to the hotswap.

    We have also identified that a system configuration is preventing us from restoring the service quickly once a situation as the above occurs.

    How is Uptime Calculated?

    The uptime calculation is based on the following calculation (as defined in the Alma 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.)
