From Carey.Noll at nasa.gov Fri Apr 8 12:57:58 2011 From: Carey.Noll at nasa.gov (Carey Noll) Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2011 15:57:58 -0400 Subject: [IGSMAIL-6381] UPDATE: CDDIS accessibility during U.S. Government furlough In-Reply-To: <4ED38CE0-AE54-40F1-B265-9B492EE48175@nasa.gov> References: <4ED38CE0-AE54-40F1-B265-9B492EE48175@nasa.gov> Message-ID: <2D04C4BA-FFA5-4B01-B1D4-96BE649ADD73@nasa.gov> Author: Carey Noll/CDDIS Although it looks like U.S. Federal Government employees may well be furloughed starting midnight tonight, it appears that we will be able to retain accessibility to the CDDIS incoming and outgoing servers through the shutdown. Therefore, users should be able to continue to access the archive through anonymous ftp and data/product suppliers should also be able to continue to push files to CDDIS for archive. This is the information I have been given; we hope that there are no complications at the NASA GSFC firewall that will prevent this access but for now, it looks good for CDDIS operations. However, CDDIS operations will continue in a totally automated fashion; the CDDIS staff will not be working, nor will we be accessible through email until the furlough has ended. I will send another message out when all operations are back to normal at CDDIS. Regards, Carey. ----- On Apr 4, 2011, at 8:35 AM, Noll, Carey E.

CDDIS is funded and operated by NASA and will be affected by this action. Not only will CDDIS staff not be permitted to work, it appears that NASA will not permit access to public web/ftp servers during this furlough. Thus CDDIS will not be accessible to users and will not be able to receive incoming files for our archive. We regret the GREAT inconvenience this outage will cause, which could last a week or more. > > While the CDDIS is unavailable, users can access one of the other > data centers supporting the services: > > IGS: http://www.igscb.org/organization/centers.html > ILRS: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/products_formats_procedures/data_centers.html > IVS: http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/org/components/dc-list.html > IDS: http://ids-doris.org/data-products/info.html > > Let's all hope that the U.S. Government passes a budget so we all can continue to work.
