OIM 2.13 bug patched

OIM users/Site Administrators,



The GOC would like to notify you about the chance for erroneous

downtime data for downtimes that were set in recent weeks.



This only applies to users who EDITED AN *EXISTING* DOWNTIME BETWEEN

Jan 26th and TODAY. If you added a downtime in that time frame but

never tried to go back and edit it then this does not impact you. Read

on if you think this applies to you.



Details:

---------------



Since January 26th, when version 2.13 was released, OIM had a bug that

was causing users to not be able to update already set downtimes. What

made this even worse is that while it failed to update the DB with new

content a user provided, the web interface was actually showing the

updated content thereby leading users to think all is well! We found

out about this bug thanks to Wei Li's pointing out something was not

right in https://ticket.grid.iu.edu/goc/viewer?id=8073, and then our

chasing the trail on our end. We have corrected this issue as of noon

eastern February 5th, and a patch has been applied to the current

production OIM.



Additionally, we compiled a list of users who tried to view or edit an

already set downtime - unfortunately the log we parsed does not

differentiate between ones who tried to look at a downtime versus

someone who tried to modify one. We have contacted these users

requesting them to verify individual downtimes that they were

associated with to make sure the records have accurate start/end time,

and other details [related ticket: https://ticket.grid.iu.edu/goc/viewer?id=8077].



We apologize for any inconvenience this may caused to site

administrators.
