Globus downtime at 9 am Central on Saturday, June 18th, 2022

[Brigitte Raumann]

Dear Globus User

Globus services will be unavailable for a period between 9:00 am and 10:00 am US Central on Saturday, June 18th, 2022 due to planned maintenance that includes database upgrades/

During the downtime, the following will be impacted:

• All services in the Globus ecosystem that use Auth, including Flows, Search, and Timer, will be unavailable. 

• Users will be unable to initiate new transfers. Transfers that are inflight when the downtime begins will resume at the last checkpoint when the services are restored at the end of the maintenance period.

• Users will not be able to log into applications that rely on Globus Auth, including Globus webapp and command line interface. 

• All third party applications and services that rely on Globus Auth will be impacted, and users will not be able to login/authenticate.

• Users will be unable to initiate new flow runs.  Flow runs that attempt to start a new step during the downtime will fail.  We recommend that users check the state of their flow runs after services have resumed.

If this maintenance window causes a significant problem for you or those you support, please contact sup...@globus.org as soon as possible.

Regards,

Brigitte
