InCommon Operations Notifications

[Tom Scavo <>]

The main production aggregate was synced with the preview aggregate
TODAY at approximately 2:42 pm EST. This implies that the MD-RPI
schema has now been deployed in production. If you experience issues,
do fall back to the fallback aggregate and notify 


Assuming we receive no reports of problems, the fallback aggregate
will be synced with the main production aggregate on Thu, Feb 19,
2015. This will complete the deployment of MD-RPI schema in production
metadata.

To monitor the flow of metadata through the pipeline, refer to the
following online diffs:

https://wayf.incommonfederation.org/metadata-diff/prod-prev/
https://wayf.incommonfederation.org/metadata-diff/fall-prod/

Thanks for your continued patience as we incorporate this new schema
into the InCommon metadata aggregates.

Tom
