MyOSG 1.6 Release Notice

The OSG Operations Center will be updating the MyOSG to the latest release (version 1.6) on Tuesday, September 1st at 3:00PM EDT. A short outage (few minutes) is expected but the GOC reserves one hour for unexpected problems, to allow roll-back.

This release includes the following bug fixes and features:

• Added Resource Group based pages. We have retained original Resource-based pages(/wizardXXXX) for backward compatibility though the resource menu item has been removed We expect to gradually phase out the Resource pages.

• Changed various inter-page links to point to the new resource group pages (instead of resource pages)
• Changed the way item selectors worked. Previously it was a big list of checkboxes. Now users can search for values in any item by typing the name, or hit the down arrow key to show the entire list of values. Applied this selector to all applicable instances, except the old resource page.
• Updated RSV Status Map with new Terrain map type and updated icons to make it easier to see the RSV status. Changed structure to allow map type to be retained inside the URL. Fixed bug related to downtime information display.
• Added "User contributed MyOSG view" section on the home page which pulls content from one of our Twiki pages.
  

This version is currently available at myosg-itb.grid.iu.edu for testing, please feel free to browse and test against this site.

NOTE: The myosg.grid.iu.edu hostname will have a new IP following this change. Please ensure local DNS caches are cleared/updated so you get the new IP.

Please direct any questions, issues, or future development requests to the GOC.

OSG GOC Services Restored - GOC Ticket # 7309

The OSG GOC was experiencing multiple service outages. The following services were down: OIM, Twiki, Software cache, Ticket, and the main GOC webpage. The services were down for varying lengths of time, from 50 minutes to 75 minutes.

The outages were due to a network outage in the Bloomington machine room instead of the IUPUI machine room, as previously stated.

Service has been fully restored.
