WriteRAP Regular Maintenance Schedule

To provide an ongoing maintenance and support of the WriteRAP server, we are setting up a consistent maintenance window. This will be at 00:00 AM (midnight) to 01:00 AM EST on Saturdays. The server may or may not be available at that time depending on the need for maintenance.

Please note that emergency maintenance notifications may not be possible because of their immediate nature. Non-emergency server downtime outside of the planned maintenance schedule will be communicated 10 days in advance of the downtime.

WriteRAP Downtime: 26 January 2011 10-11 EST

On Wednesday, 26 January 2011, the WriteRAP server will be down briefly from 10-11 EST to do some final tweaks to the hardware server cut over from the past weekend.

New Server

Over the weekend, the WriteRAP team switched from one set of hardware to another, newer hardware setup. The new hardware enables auto-switching from one server to another should the primary fail. Additionally, we implemented a large number of patches to the server and have eliminated the Download I/O error that occurred on large file sizes.

The new server address is the same as the old: http://writerap.pearson.com.

If you in the past, accessed WriteRAP using an IP address (http://165...), please switch your bookmarks and access point using http://writerap.pearson.com.

Thanks!
