Description of changes:

The Hub Validation environment upgrade scheduled for the week of 8/2 has been POSTPONED due to an internal service outage at one of our technology partners.  That outage did not impact the Hub environment or processing, but it did impact the ability of our partner to sufficiently staff and execute our upgrade.

We will be rescheduling the upgrade activity as soon as we are confident we can proceed without further interruption, and another Notice of Operational Change will be sent out within 48 hours of the new upgrade window.

Scope:
Hub Validation environment upgrade.

Impact:
Hub Validation environment upgrade has been postponed.

Support:
Please contact administrator@ehealthexchange.org with any questions or concerns.

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.
