CAP and CDR Maintenance Outage

A maintenance event for CAP and CDR is scheduled for this Friday, November 20th, beginning at 8:00 pm EST. The event will complete later that evening, and a communication will be sent out once maintenance is complete. 

Call to Action: If you have not saved your tables, please make sure to do so. This is to ensure that your information will be saved throughout the maintenance process. Any long running jobs would also have to be restarted.

Prior to the planned maintenance window, users should save any of the tables in their own CASLIB to Hive in order for the information to be saved. You can save your existing CASLIB data loaded into memory using the following code. You’ll need to update the code to reference your CASLIB name and table. You will need to save each table individually. After the maintenance window, you will need to load your tables back into memory in order to continue working with them. As a reminder, whenever there is maintenance on the environment, you will need to make sure all of your code and table changes are saved.
