CSMS Message: 14-000533

All

Please be advised that the regular ACE Production maintenance window is scheduled to begin on Saturday, 10/04/2014 at 2200 EDT and end on Sunday, 10/05/2014 until 0400 EDT.

Please Note: Starting this week until further notice, per consensus of trade and CBP management, the ACE weekly outage window will begin one hour earlier at 2200 EDT (10:00pm). While the system is always brought back up immediately following maintenance, the official standard window will remain six hours now lasting until 0400 EDT (4:00am). Unless an extended window is projected, a user or trade participant could expect ACE to be available by 0400 EDT (4:00am) on a Sunday morning.

This weekend's ACE work does NOT include maintenance to the ACE database and will, therefore, NOT affect ACS Air AMS or ACS ABI.

The following items may impact Trade users:

ACE_IR_2170 - Improves an Entry Summary Create/Update transaction response (AX) by including the relative position of a non-standard data occurrence in an X0-Record, when found in the AE input transaction.

ACE_PR_48737 - Fixes a problem where a Batch Sequence Number is not consistently generated and returned in a sea/rail outbound manifest message.

ACE_PR_49344 -Fixes a problem where a JD response transaction is not generated and returned to a trade participant when more than 2,500 summaries are queried.

ACE_PR_49384 - Fixes a problem where output sea/rail response transactions are interpreted as 'out of sequence' in a trade partner's system in a scenario where the input transaction was received prior to midnight, yet processed after midnight.
