All,

We will be taking an outage starting at 6:00 am ET Tuesday 12/09/2014 in ACE CERTIFICATION. This outage is scheduled until 11:00 am ET on Wednesday 12/10/2014.

PLEASE NOTE: This week's ACE Certification outage will begin ONE DAY EARLY on TUESDAY (rather than Wednesday) in an effort to get the eBond functionality into the environment as early as possible. There is significant infrastructure work that will accompany the effort.

The system will be brought back up and made available once the deployment is complete. This is an application deployment plus infrastructure work. A message will be sent once CERTIFICATION is back up.

ACE Certification is the testing environment used by trade software developers

ACE PRODUCTION will not be impacted

The following will impact ACE participants.
