The R Epidemics Consortium (RECON) is an internationalnot-for-profit, non-governmental organisation gathering experts in datascience, modelling methodology, public health, and software development tocreate the next generation of analytics tools for informing the responseto disease outbreaks, health emergencies and humanitarian crises, using the R software and other free, open-source resources.
This includes packages specifically designed for handling, visualising, andanalysing outbreak data using cutting-edge statistical methods, as well as moregeneral-purpose tools for data cleaning, versioning, and encryption, and systeminfrastructure.
Accessibility: our tools are free, open-source, and available on virtuallyany platform; they can be used with different levels of expertise, and aim toprovide graphical user interfaces implementing the most importantfunctionalities.
disseminating knowledge: RECON provides free, open-access training material on its training platform reconlearn.org, and regularly organises workshops and short courses on outbreak analytics and data science. Our public forum , freely accessible to anyone, is dedicated to sharing exptertise on these topics.
outbreak response deployment: RECON supports the deployment of data analytics resources to the field as part of the response to health emergencies; this includes the deployment of staff as well as analysis systems adapted to low resources settings.
As of 19th September 2018, RECON is registered as a not-for-profit,incorporated association regulated by the French law (registration numberW751246083), in accordance to the association law of 1st July 1901 and thedecree of the 16th August 1901. For more information about the remit of RECON,check our current official statutes in English;original statutes used to create the organisation are also available inFrench.
Our recon hanging issue was really related to softwareupdate not completing. JamF uses that during recon or inventory management. You can turn that off which support advised us to until this PI is resolved.
I also had 1 specific Mac that would stall during the Recon task at "Locating hardware information (macOS 11.6.6)". When running with the -verbose option it appeared to stall at the very end (after EAs are processed). I examined the EAs and even disabled a couple temporarily but it didn't matter.
Then I ran sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.softwareupdated (via @Spillou spillou above) and Recon still stalled. I think that I ran Recon too soon after kickstarting softwareupdated. So I waited a couple of minutes and the next time Recon was attempted it ran 100%.

Hi !
I had 7 or 8 computers with my inventory update policy that failed. In the mail notification of the failed policy was mention of a time out of 300 seconds for the software update. I tried a jamf recon and it hanged at the same place as written above. Moreover, I couldn't get the mac updates in the preferences pane, of course !
Now I have a policy with the launchctl kickstart command and I run it when needed (just add the computers in the scope) but I would like to know how I can make a policy that applies when the software update hangs. Any help is welcome !
It's now a few days that I have each morning some computers having this problem. They aren't always the same computers who have the software update that times out after 300 seconds.
I have a policy that triggers at checkin (15 minutes) with the update inventory in the maintenance section configured. I added a files and processes where I put the command that kickstarts the software update. Question is: in the column, the Maintenance configuration is before the Files and Processes one. Does it mean that it will run before the kickstart command ? If so, it shouldn't be a big problem as the maintenance will time out after 5 minutes, the softwareupdate will be forced to restart and then it should be ok at the next checkin 15 minutes later. Am I right ? And I as thinking of replacing this with a single script with the launchctl... followed by a jamf recon. What's the best practice ?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Nope.
It happens sometimes on some computers even on Monterey. I tried to remove the maintenance files and processes and replace this with a script that kills the softwareupdate process then makes a recon, but I have now a Connection failure: "The Internet connection appears to be offline." sometimes...
I see a similar issue here on a Intel MacBook running macOS 13.5.1. Recon takes hours and ends with a "Internet connection ..." message, of course ... after 6 or 8 hours the User closes the MacBook...

Realizing it is my choice and my choice alone
to be a Reconnaissance Marine,
I accept all challenges involved with this profession.
Forever shall I strive to maintain the tremendous reputation
of those who went before me.
Exceeding beyond the limitations
set down by others shall be my goal.
Sacrificing personal comforts and dedicating myself
to the completion of the reconnaissance mission shall be my life.
Physical fitness, mental attitude, and high ethics --
The Reconciliation of Clinical Content and Care Providers profile provides the ability to communicate lists of clinical data that were reconciled, when they were reconciled and who did the reconciliation using CDA constructs and FHIR Resource attributes.
The Reconciliation of Clinical Content and Care Providers profile provides the structures and transactions needed to communicate the list of reconciled items, when they were reconciled and who did the reconciliation. This can be accomplished with any CDA or FHIR constructed list regardless of implementation guide.
The ability to maintain the support of care provision is essential as data is exchanged. This is supported by identifying and examining the heuristics that can be used to facilitate identification of duplicated, overlapping, conflicting or superseded items that may be introduced as a result of sematic interoperability.
Reconciled information is needed to prevent information redundancy and to support clinical care, quality reporting, financial transactions, public health reporting, clinical trials, drug interaction checking, and patient qualification for various protocols. A wide variety of systems will need to reconcile clinical data as information is exchanged, stored and maintained in EMR system or other clinical data repository. This is needed to prevent confusion and conflict of clinical information that can lead to patient safety issues.
The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, a component of the 403rd Wing located at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Miss., is a one-of-a-kind organization. It is the only operational unit in the world flying weather reconnaissance on a routine basis.
The mission of the Hurricane Hunters is to recruit, organize and train assigned personnel to perform aerial weather reconnaissance. They provide surveillance of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the central Pacific Ocean for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. The unit also flies winter storm missions off both coasts of the United States.
AIRCRAFT:
To perform their mission, the Hurricane Hunters have 10 WC-130J aircraft. These Super Hercules aircraft are equipped with palletized meteorological data-gathering instruments. The WC-130J is the next generation "Hurricane Hunter" designed to continue weather reconnaissance well into the 21st century.
PERSONNEL AUTHORIZED:
The 53rd WRS is authorized 20 aircrews. Fifty-nine unit members hold air reserve technician positions. The rest of the squadron is made up of Air Force Reservists.
WC-130Js carry a basic crew of five: pilot, co-pilot, navigator, flight meteorologist and weather reconnaissance loadmaster. The pilot, who serves as the aircraft commander, and the co-pilot man the flight controls. The navigator keeps track of the aircraft's position and movement and monitors radar to avoid tornadic activity. The flight meteorologist acts as flight director and observes and records meteorological data at flight level using a computer that encodes weather data every 30 seconds. The weather reconnaissance loadmaster collects and records vertical meteorological data using a parachute-borne sensor known as a dropsonde. It measures and encodes weather data down to the ocean surface.
Co-located with the National Hurricane Center in Miami, is a small group of Air Force Reserve civilian personnel, assigned to the 53rd WRS. The supervisory meteorologist of the unit serves as Chief, Aerial Reconnaissance Coordination, All Hurricanes, better known as CARCAH.
These personnel are responsible for coordinating Department of Commerce requirements for hurricane data, tasking weather reconnaissance missions and monitoring all data transmitted from weather reconnaissance aircraft.
