[UD] update of software.

surreal · February 19th, 2002, 10:39 PM

New from the site
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will begin upgrading the UD Agent at 10 AM CST on Wednesday, February 20, 2002. Your UD Agent will be unable to connect to the server for approximately 6-10 hours. All "Member Services" pages will be unavailable during this period as well. Following the upgrade, you'll be downloading the new UD Agent the next time you connect to the server. That download is approximately 1.5 MB so you may experience longer connection times.

I hope this means UD will continue. Maybe we won't have too much downtime.

Have to fill up the cache slots on the UD monitor before work tomorrow just to be safe.

Hope this means that they will continue the project.

lol@vass.

Guess it depends on your point of view. I was thinking that was a very fast update.
Because, it sounds like they'll be doing a major update of the server software, so that takes a lot more time to get it on the servers, and then to do some more testing before turning it loose on the whole community.

bad timing on my part, too. I just started 3 days ago.

Don't worry dragonb, it happens every so often.

You'll be fine!

I can't help with the cache slots, I don't use UD monitor..

Thanks for the info surreal!! I would have figured it out in short order though! I haven't found anything on the message boards at UD

I hope they get it right this time, no lost in space w/u's!!

I'll keep checking the UD site for more info!

I'm gonna guess that if one is using UDMonitor, we'll really have no choice but to d/l the new client for each cache slot, since we'll already have WU's in the cache slots?

Or, is there a workaround?

Daft_Ghosty · February 20th, 2002, 09:50 AM

The only work around I can see Tom.. is to make sure if u have any finished work in your cache slots dump itbefore the server goes down.. then delete all your cache slots.. and when run the client in the main folder.. when it updates.. then u hadd cache slots back again.. but even that is a pain.. Its better to just lets the clients update. =)
