Hi,

Please note that OPS is connected to over 100 different internal databases and the only thing that I can see looking back is that on both days we indeed had some Interruptions in different databases, at different levels. Usually colleagues in charge would inform us if they know that Interruption or maintenance could have affect on external OPS users, but in this case we were not informed of any such possibility because databases affected are not directly connected to OPS.

Regards,
Vesna for OPS support
