PURL Server Update 3 PDF Print E-mail
Written on Friday, 04 September 2009

GPO staff continues to give restoration of the PURL server the highest priority. Our goal is to have it operational and accessible early next week.

A script was executed and it continues to run to rebuild the PURL resolution database. At present the database is populated with more than 87,000 of the 115,000 PURLs. The database is being rebuilt at an average rate of 10,000 PURLs every twelve hours.

Because of the availability of backup files, no data was lost. For additional information from earlier postings about the disruption in the PURL service, please refer to the FDLP Desktop General Announcements section and display 10 articles.

GPO again apologizes for the inconvenience the PURL server outage has caused and we thank you for your patience as we restore this vital service.
