Software Updates

As in previous releases, software updates will require a restart of the Oracle Service. The new display will instruct the user of the expected traffic interruption time. The following screen shows the expected and actual traffic interruption times for a software update:

From the above, the expected traffic interruption time for the software update was less than 3 minutes for each Site, but that the actual interruption time was less than 100 ms. The user traffic would have been impacted for a bit longer than this as Conduits between the Sites must be operational or in the “GOOD” state before user traffic can flow across them.
