8. The Ruffing Center lost all primary power Tuesday at
1520 hours, shutting down all systems and causing circuit and
data damage. The JES system IPL'ed some 5 hours later, but with
many disk drives unavailable. While JES was down, the Comten
computers could not be loaded and thus VM and every other
application was not available for 5 hours also. A power failure
Monday morning caused losses of up to 46 minutes. These incidents
marred an otherwise excellent week in the center.
9. In the Special Center, CAMS problems accounted for
most of the lost time. Wednesday, 32 minutes was lost due to
a GIMS software problem. Early Thursday there was a JES failure
which caused CAMS 160 minutes of downtime. A memory error
occurred late Saturday, and 190 minutes was lost in analyzing
and repairing the problem. Another 56 minutes was lost a few
hours later due to another memory hit. A power failure and
applications software caused 107 lost minutes on Monday. No
other Special Center application lost more than an hour during
10. The Technical Writing Group in CSS has been renamed
tion Group to more accurately reflect their functions.
