One of our staffers bought this one to my attention. Seems BIS will be off-line in this neck of the woods for a couple of days (on and off anyway). It’s all to do with an upgrade from BIS 2.4 to 2.5 so I guess the downtime will be worth it…
Thanks for the warning yet again mate 🙂
“There are three days of upgrades/outages in this notification. It appears that on June 7 at 15:00GMT (1100 EDT) that BIS 2.5 will be enabled in the Asia-Pacific Region. There will be outages the day before and the day after (at the same times,) as well as on the day the upgrade takes place.
