Dear UK IDAC users,  
The RSP and services on which it relies are currently offline. This is due to urgent security patching in response to recently published vulnerabilities.  
The system will be restarted from 17:00 (UTC+1) onwards, and will be at risk as services come back online.  
Apologies for the inconvenience.  
Thanks,  
Dave

The service has now returned.  
Recommended notebook images are being pulled, so please be aware sessions may be slow to start.  
Thanks,

Following yesterday’s patching session, the TAP service, and services relying on TAP have not come back up.

We are working to identify the issue and will update here once it has been remedied.

Thanks,  
Dave

Dear all,

The TAP service on the UK IDAC RSP is now back up and running, meaning DP0.2 queries and queries to other datasets and TAP services are available.

Apologies for the downtime.

Many thanks,  
Dave
