AESDirect Required Maintenance – Scheduled Outages

September 23, 2013
 
AES Broadcast #2013082

 
AESDirect Required Maintenance – Scheduled Outages
 
This message is for AESDirect program users only.  If you are not an AESDirect program filer, you will not be affected by these outages.
 

The AESDirect system will experience required system maintenance occurring on Sunday, October 6, 2013 and Saturday, October 19, 2013.  The AESDirect system will not be available for EEI filing during these two extended outages.
 
The first outage will occur on Sunday, October 6, 2013 from 1:00am EDT to 8:00am EDT.  
 
The second outage will occur on Saturday, October 19, 2013 from 1:00am EDT to 1:00pm EDT.
 
 
We strongly encourage you to file your shipments prior to these outages if possible.
 
During the two outages all AESDirect program filers may submit shipments under the AES Downtime Policy. State Department licensable shipments cannot be exported under the AES Downtime Policy and must be held until the connection is restored and an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) is received. Once the connection is brought back on-line after each outage, all AESDirect program transactions for shipments that were exported under the AES Downtime Policy must be filed along with any new AES transactions.
 
AESPcLink users are encouraged to continue creating and storing shipments in a queue on their local computer for transmission when AESDirect is back on-line after each outage. Please ensure that you are using AESPcLink version 8.9 prior to this outage.
 
If you utilize the AES Downtime Policy for export, please contact the port from which you will be exporting. In lieu of the AES Proof of Filing citation, please use the AES Downtime citation, which consists of the phrase AESDOWN, your individual company's Filer ID, followed by the date.
 
For example:       AESDOWN 123456789 10/06/2013
