[sims] SOLUS 3 down?! 'Unable to define target type'

[MrMat]

Error pops up when trying to add target definitions etc.

 

Tried at a few different sites and all getting the same issue.

 

Anyone else having trouble? I know there's meant to be an update for S3 coming today but I didnt see any mention of down time.

 

Cheers,

Alex

Just did a check for new updates on mine but it doesn't see any...

We're getting the same error here. ( Unable to define target type, module has not been loaded )

 

At least we can take some comfort from the fact that we're not the only ones.

Getting the same here.

 

Sounds like Capita's SOLUS3 server is down.

 

Edit: Just gave Capita a ring. There is maintenance happening on their SOLUS3 servers. New S3 schools can't register, can't make changes to the S3 enviroment, LA's can't authorise patches, etc and schools can't deploy patches, etc.

 

Should be up and running in a hours time.

SOLUS3 is currently un-available

Unfortunately routine maintenance on the SOLUS3 servers has unexpectedly resulted in customers being unable to register new sites or download new packages.

 

We are working on this as a matter of urgency and will update you when we know more,

We will therefore be releasing the SOLUS3.7 update on Monday the 23^rd of June in order to accommodate carrying out this testing.

Why they would be testing on the day they plan to release a product I have no idea...
