Description of changes:

  • Error logging within the Hub is being enhanced for group query request processing.
  • Support will be added for the SAML Attribute type value of xsi:type=”xs:anyType”.
  • Deployment of two adhoc software fix packs from InterSystems that address a number of internal optimizations, enhancements and pro-active security and defect remediation.

All of the above changes were deployed successfully in the VALIDATION environment during last week’s maintenance event (Thu 10/29).

We do not anticipate a service outage during deployment of these changes in PRODUCTION.

Scope:

These enhancements will be applied to the eHealth Exchange Hub PRODUCTION environment as outlined above. 

Impact:

The eHealth Exchange does not anticipate a service interruption for this maintenance event.

Support:

eHealth Exchange staff will monitor administrator@ehealthexchange.org for 30 minutes after the maintenance is completed. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND REMINDERS:

The eHealth Exchange Hub team has implemented a recurring weekly scheduled maintenance window each Thursday evening at 9:00pm ET for all non-urgent events.  The duration of each maintenance event will be determined by the respective changes for each event, and details will be communicated out to all Participants at least 48 hours prior to the event.  If there are no changes for any given week then the maintenance event will not occur and no notice will be sent. Also please note that Operating System and similar updates that do not require a service outage, and do not require changes to the application layer, will be performed during this scheduled maintenance window without specific notice due to their frequent and routine nature.
