Issues with file storage and retrieval in PICS/LMS

Incident Report for Pellcomp Hosting

Resolved

No further issues reported or observed, so we'll now close the incident. This appears to have been caused by a configuration change at our cloud-based storage system provider, although we're still conducting full root cause analysis. Sincere apologies for the disruption caused.

Monitoring

Regrettably, any scheduled reports that have not run will need to be manually re-run. Our testing indicates that file storage is now working as expected though. Should you continue to experience issues, please contact the Support Team via your usual routes. We will continue to monitor the situation through the morning.

Identified

File storage is now working, so any existing files can be read and any new files can be written. We are now looking into the implications for anything that should have run earlier (e.g. scheduled reports).
