Bugfix Release on Friday, April 1st

We are currently working on the final steps of a minor bugfix release following PubMan 6.2.
We are actually on schedule right now (!) and we plan to release the new version on the upcoming Friday, April 1st.

This means that there will be a short downtime of approximately one hour, starting at 3 p.m.
After the deployment of the new system, we will start a re-indexing procedure, because the release includes some improvements concerning the search.
The re-index is going to last about 24 hours. During this period, the search functionalities may not deliver correct results. All other PubMan features will be working unreservedly.

Maintenance operation switched to January 12th / 6-10 p.m.

The GWDG informed us, that the announced maintenance operation surprisingly had to be switched and is now going to take place this Wednesday evening ( January 12th) between 6 and 10 p.m. (CET).

We will try to set up the ‘read only’ system as announced, so you will be able to access as well as search or browse within your items, but it will not be possible to enter new data until the maintenance operation is finished.

We are sorry for the maintenance confusion. In this case we are dependent on the actions of GWDG.

Maintenance Operation by the GWDG / January 11th / 6-9 p.m.

The already announced maintenance work will be performed on Tuesday, January 11th from 6:00 P.M. until presumably 09:00 P.M. (CET).
We plan to set up a ‘read only’ system during that time. ‘Read only’ means, you will be able to access as well as search or browse within your items, but it will not be possible to enter new data until the maintenance operation is finished.

We are sorry for any inconveniences!

Maintenance Operation by the GWDG

At first: Happy new year everybody :)

And here are already the first important PubMan information immediately at the start of our new year 2011:
Our hosting partner – the GWDG in Göttingen – informed us that they plan to perform some maintenance work either on Tuesday, January 11th during the afternoon/evening hours or on Wednesday, January 12th in the morning hours.
Unfortunately the GWDG is not able to give us a more concrete statement at the moment. As soon as we know the definite period for the intended maintenance operation we will inform you immediately.

With best wishes,
your PubMan support team

Maintenance Operation by the GWDG

Our hosting partner – the GWDG in Göttingen – informed us that they plan to perform complex works at their local power supply on Wednesday, November 17th.

For this reason, all PubMan services, especially the productive and the migration server will not be available from 6:00 A.M. until presumably 9:00 A.M. (CET)  on next Wednesday.

We are sorry for any inconveniences caused by this maintenance operation!

Good things come to those who wait!

It is done – the 6.1 release of PubMan finally is deployed and the system is completely functional again.

The new version includes a quite extensive set of new features and improvements as well as a far reaching update of the underlying core service.

Just to get an idea of the extent of efforts that were connected with this release, it might be interesting to take a look at the sheer number of modifications: Altogether we managed to implement 25 new features as well as 36 improvements and by the way we were able to fix no fewer than 185 Bugs.
