Deployment: September 8, 2008

No timeline with this one.

There had been an issue with the previous deployment. Every once in a while, the CPU on the application servers was getting up close to 100%, and the Support Team had to reboot them to keep the application alive.

Unfortunately, rolling back wasn’t working; we tried un-deploying the application, and re-deploying the old version, but the new version seemed to be cached on the application servers. So we had to call the application server vendor, and get help. (It turned out we had to undeploy, remove the temp directory, and then re-deploy the old version.)
