1609363 : Downtime already started?¶

Created: 2026-06-16T07:23:20Z - current status: new¶

Anonymized & Summarized Issue:¶

A user reports that Condor-submitted jobs on a computing cluster ([SERVICE]) were automatically placed on hold due to scheduled downtime for dCache maintenance (announced via prior email). The error message indicates jobs will remain held until after the downtime window (June 17 at 07:00). The user asks if job submissions will also be blocked during this period.

Solution / Next Steps:¶

• Clarify submission status: Check the original downtime announcement or contact support to confirm whether new job submissions are permitted (even if existing jobs are held).
• Expected behavior: Held jobs should auto-release post-downtime. No action needed unless submissions fail separately.
• Workaround: Avoid submitting urgent jobs until downtime completes.
