Murphy's Law has hit us the past few days. Since migrating to production we have had the following issues on Capacity Books:

Monday the Capacity Books were not available until 9:45am.
Problem: This was because the Group table was created on the production server and not populated with the initial data.
Solution: Populated table and reran cycle.

Tuesday the Capacity Books were not available until 8:20am.
Problem: This was due to an RTI improvement that triggered a duplicate record on the contracted table.
Solution: Corrected the stored procedure and reran cycle.

Wednesday the Capacity Books were not available until 2:00pm. Due to training we held off on publishing the views on Wired.
Problem: The database server temp log file filled up and triggered an abend to the Capacity Books batch cycle. A notification was triggered to Steve Plant's pager at 2:00am but he never received the page. Craig Buehler had a problem with the Price Curve Manager spreadsheet, so if Steve would have completed the batch cycle the pricing would have been calculated incorrectly.
Solution: We are automating the Price Curve Manager process, which will eliminate manual intervention. We are also looking into a better scheduling and notification system.

Thursday the Capacity Books were available at 4:43am with no known problems.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me at 3-3186.

Thanks,
