Metastock: Reuters Datalink Outage on January 26, 2008
Important message for all Reuters DataLink clients.
Dear valued client:
On Saturday, January 26, 2008 there will be a planned Reuters DataLink outage from 9:00am to 9:00pm eastern time. The purpose of this outage is to test all of our emergency back-up systems.
What this means:
All users of Reuters DataLink data will be UNABLE to access any of their Data On Demand Reuters DataLink data; therefore they will NOT be able to open any charts using Data On Demand data or download Reuters DataLink data. However, any data that has already been downloaded to a local file, can still be accessed.
When the connection has come back up, all data will be available. No data will be lost or dropped during this outage.
Options:
While the Data On Demand data will not be available, any data that the user has already downloaded will be available. If you need to work on your charts during this outage period, we highly recommend downloading the data that you need before 9:00am EST, January 26, 2008.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We understand that this information is critical to your trading; however to ensure that our systems are properly running, it is important to occasionally perform tests of this nature.
Reuters DataLink has been Restored.
Dear valued client:
The planned outage of Reuters DataLink is now complete and Reuters DataLink is up and accessible by all Reuters DataLink clients. We appreciate your patience during this planned maintenance.
Thank you,
Equis International
