Question What is a mid-day restart? Answer Sometimes we receive configuration change requests where we're required to make the change/s as soon as possible, as opposed to waiting until the next maintenance window (see the maintenance window TKB for reference).   We usually specify that we can do these out-of-window deployments for a mid-day restart (mid-day PST usually unless otherwise specified by the customer).    These restarts are usually no different to regular studio pushes where the downtime for the deployment to take effect can be anywhere from 1-15 minutes. However, we also require explicit approval from customers that we can go ahead with scheduling the restart - especially during business hours. Please keep this in mind whenever you need to schedule something urgent.   If you have further questions about deployment out-of-window, please contact support and we will promptly address your questions.

Lithium Support tracks a notification list to always keep you and your team up to date on news about our product as well as specifics for your particular environment.   These notification lists are used for:   Lithium Community and/or LSW upgrade notifications Maintenance that falls outside of the standard maintenance windows Miscellaneous product updates   For notifications of any system-wide availability updates, potential issues with critical third party services (such as Facebook or Twitter) that we learn about, or any other mass outage of our platform, please subscribe directly to status.lithium.com via email or SMS.   If you purchased the Gold or Platinum support package and have access to the Case Portal, you can view the contacts and emails we have on file for each of these lists here.   Please create a case or email us any time to update either notification list and ensure members of your team/organization are notified of important updates!

We've updated the status page to provide more specific and targeted information regarding the topics that you care about. This allows us to also be more proactive in order to provide the necessary details to you, our customers, about what is occurring on our servers, APIs, or functionality within the product lines.  It is our goal to continue to improve this communication and we are happy to continue to receive feedback.   What's the URL? http://status.lithium.com/   What does this provide? You'll receive an email or SMS about new investigations, monitoring, or resolutions as they occur based on your preferences and selections.  It is  the best way to be proactively notified about any problems across the Lithium product lines.   Who should sign up? Anyone that's interested in keeping up to date about our infrastructure should be signed up.  This includes administrators, community moderators, SMM supervisors, or even agents who are expected to respond to customers! It is always great to know what is going on with the tools being used and this is the place to get that information.   Won't I get spammed? We update this page only for relevant information and you can select the subcategories to be notified about. By default, everything is checked but there may not be any need for you to be notified on a Community API if you're only using SMM in your business (even if we think you should use both!).
