This got sent to the S2S & the PI lists about 1/2 hour ago, but as yet I
have not seen it on the Admin list.

The original promise was to have Commons back up by 5/27, start of
business. This message is informing us that Commons will not be back up
until at least a few hours past start of business 5/27.

*/eRA Alert: Update on Infrastructure Upgrade/*

May 26, 2009

On May 22, eRA began switching its modules and databases to point to
brand new database servers as part of a major infrastructure upgrade
that involved a year of careful planning. Our goal was to have the new
system up and running by the start of business tomorrow, Wednesday, May
27. However, due to residual problems, all eRA systems – including eRA
Commons and eSubmission eXchange– are expected to remain unavailable for
at least a few hours past our deadline. The eRA team will continue to
work on these issues and will provide you with an update by mid-morning
tomorrow.

We are sorry for the additional downtime.

This may lead to additional questions but please be patient as we
reassess the situation tomorrow morning and provide you with more
information.
