chaney08 3.1 252 === Collaboratory 1 maintenance **(Released)** ===
chaney08 1.1 253
254 Collaboratory 1 services will be down from 18:00 CET [[(my timezone)>>url:https://everytimezone.com/s/4a9daa55]] Thursday Jan 7 for maintenance. The services are being re-hosted from the EPFL/BBP infrastructure to the Fenix infrastructure. The OIDC authentication service will be reactivated first (within 30 minutes); all other services will follow in the evening. Once the Collaboratory 1 services are back online, you may find that files added to the storage within the last days do not initially appear. This will be remedied overnight as we synchronize the storage. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
255
256 As a reminder the Collaboratory 1 services are deprecated and will be shut down in September 2021.
257
258 If you encounter issues with Collaboratory 1 after Friday 12:00 CET, please contact [[https:~~/~~/ebrains.eu/support>>url:https://ebrains.eu/support]]
259
260 The re-hosting was completed on Thursday evening. Some services relying on the Collaboratory 1 may need to be restarted to take into account the new DNS entries. Please notify [[support>>url:https://ebrains.eu/support]] of any issues you identify.
