Daily scheduled DT on Singularity from 05:00-05:15 GMT (there might be unscheduled ones too).

But its off line 30 min ago with Tranquility.
It will be online? or not ?

Welcome to the world of Test, unexpected things will happen with unknown impacts.
It might be back up in 20 min, or it could be 20 hrs or more.

Note: We may or may not be informed of anything regarding that.

Yep, this is the test server and with that in mind it can come down at any time with or without warning.

We do usually try and give warning but sometimes it is not possible. We regularly deploy new builds to the server and restart the server through the day and this can take time. Just one of the things you have to accept on the test server.

You just have to be patient, we have no real way of knowing how long an update will take. It all depends what we need to run during that specific update. Is it just a straight forward new build, are there database scripts we need to test, are those database scripts long running, this is all stuff we use the test server to find out and this is all depends on the process going smoothly.

Especially with the run up to a release, we will possibly be updating and rebooting Singularity multiple times through the day as we test fixes and updates. Just part of test server life. Big smile
