No-downtime Production Updates (2.61.2) rescheduled for Tuesday, April 8, 2025
(April 3, 2025)
Notice
We have postponed the 2.61.2 Production update from April 3 to April 8, to accommodate customer requirements and allow time for additional testing. This does not affect any of our Maintenance plans for this month. The original message (with adjusted dates) appears below.
Platform Update
We are planning no-downtime updates to deliver Platform release 2.61.2 to the following areas:
- US Production: Tuesday, April 8
- US Government Cloud Production: Thursday, April 10
- Europe and Canada Production: Wednesday, April 16
You can review these release notes for an overview of the changes.
Action
Please report any unexpected behavior that you notice in your US Config (Build, Test, and UAT) areas, which we updated with this new 2.61.2 version on Thursday, April 3. (We will postpone the Production update if we're not confident in its quality.) This release will reach the European and Canadian Config areas on Wednesday, April 9.

Partial Service Disruption Update: April 16, 2025
(April 17, 2025, 03:58 AM)
We experienced a partial service disruption this morning affecting all applications in our US Production environment. Services that depend on the search index were limited during this period. All services were fully restored by 9:11am Central time, though some services (such as BI reporting) were restored earlier.
What Happened?
Our preliminary investigation indicates this disruption stemmed from expired certificates. During this period, users may have experienced error messages when attempting to use search-dependent features. Core functionality not reliant on search remained operational.
What's Next?
We are conducting a comprehensive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to:
- Determine the exact sequence of events
- Identify process improvements
- Implement safeguards to prevent similar incidents
We understand the critical nature of our services to your operations and sincerely apologize for the disruption. If you experienced any specific issues during this disruption, or have questions about this incident, or would like a copy of our RCA once completed, please contact your Technical Account Manager.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
