Improvements

Modifications to IBU Server components

Why

We have made several changes to improve the stability of IBU (Send and Receive)

How

Several IBU Server components will be updated. IBU Server will not be available on September 29th, from 18:00 to 0:00 (CET). File exchange in Send & Receive and the IBU client executable in standalone mode cannot be used during the maintenance interval either. If you have planned critical file exchanges during this period, we advise you to reschedule these activities. Please contact your administrator.

Impact for IBU Standalone

If your organization uses a scheduler to automatically upload files to or download files from the Youforce server using IBU client in standalone mode, you should pay special attention to the following.

• File exchange with IBU standalone will not work during the maintenance interval.
• IBU standalone will start processing files left on the client or server after the maintenance has ended, on the first automatically scheduled start afterward.
• If IBU standalone tries to connect to the IBU server during the maintenance interval, error messages will be generated and logged. Depending on your local configuration, e-mails may also be sent to your organization's administrator. Such error messages are normal and can be ignored.
• If the IBU server goes down in the middle of processing a file exchange, the transfer may fail. In this case, an appropriate error message will also be logged. In some cases, it might be necessary to send or receive the corresponding file manually afterward. If the requested file has disappeared from the server list, you may contact the Visma | Raet Service Desk to have it restored.
• If your organization would rather prevent the above-mentioned errors, you are advised to switch off your local scheduler for IBU standalone during the maintenance interval. Your IT professional can take care of this, or you may contact your Visma | Raet consultant.
