Seriously? Do you have been living under rock?

In September 2021, one year ago, it was announced that WCG is moving from IBM to Krembil.
For that move, the whole project was shut down in February 2022 for the physical move to begin.
The forum and web site came back up some time in May 2022.
They then started to send out test WUs in June 2022.
And now in Sepctember 2022, the whole system is still in "testing mode".

Sorry, but there are dozens of threads with hundreds of posts on this forum mentioning all of this...

Well, to make a long story short, communication from WCG/Krembil has been less than stellar. But all the necessary news has been, just for example, in the "News" subforum. And both "Web Site Support" and "BOINC Agent Support" are among those that carry relevant news.And should be obvious first choices to look for info.

And as mentioned, this has been soooo often been posted, all over the forum, that it is really hard to miss, pinned or not. And people have been posting the same question, over and over again, to be answered over and over again, in pretty much all active subforums. Which of course means if someone is really looking and checking recent posts, which are in fact marked, it would be really hard to miss the info about what is going on, though this is made a bit harder because of all the noise. But you have to blame some of your fellow WCG crunchers for that.And that is something that frustrates me as well as most other crunchers, because it got to the point where it seriously distracts from the issues at hand.

And if you are asking "when" (and not "why" ) it is released "into production", well, your guess is as good as everyone else's right now, though in the last couple of days, there seems to have been some tangible progress being made...

An interesting email. Too bad the transient HTTP problem is not yet fully fixed. I trust they are getting close to a solution. It is interesting they sent this email out on a Friday. If they are willing to run this operation, they should be prepared to have somebody available to troubleshoot on a 24/7 basis, even if it is on an on-call basis. I would speculate that most of the issues could be solved remotely if the person has the proper access, so it is not like they would have to be on-site to trouble shoot. If they have their act together, they will have some automatic hardware fail over triggers with notifications sent to the proper people.Contingency plans should always be several layers deep.

I would be very surprised if they have enough capacity yet. They have been in limited testing mode so far and they probably don't yet know what capacity they will ultimately need until we get back all our crunchers.

Basically, anything involved in data transmission. The downloading issues are an example. They are much improved but when we are in full production more will be needed.
