Description of changes:
1) Code will be deployed to automatically retry sending of messages that fail due to a specific error on the Hub. It was found that the vast majority of these messages are successfully processed and sent upon retry.
2) A task is being created to automatically purge clinical documents more frequently from the LIVE Hub logs. The message trace will remain for the same period of time for troubleshooting purposes, but the clinical documents within the messages will be purged.
3) An update to the Hub’s web server configuration is being made to mitigate against a potential security vulnerability.
Scope:
These changes will be applied to the eHealth Exchange Hub PRODUCTION environment as outlined above.
Impact:
We do not anticipate any other service interruptions during the maintenance event; Real-time routing of messages through the Hub will be unaffected.
Support:
eHealth Exchange staff will monitor administrator@ehealthexchange.org during the upgrade window to address 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 5:00pm 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.
