Archived Companywide outage

[Amanda Cantwell]

Oh yes. We can push out things faster. Plus mytech will eventually be a lot bigger than myHelp. Thing myPog

So basically mytech will be like my day? So they’ll have two giant apps that do essentially the same thing, one only for HQ?

I just survived Targetgeddon!

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

We are up

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

To a point. But with a lot of features for any team member at stores, HQ or DCs.

My day sounds like it will be extremely task oriented based on what work center you are and such.

Gotcha. Will it be loaded onto zebras or still only available via air watch...

My store is still waiting for mycomm lol

(Sorry to sidetrack)

I love MyHelp. It’s the only time I ever get a response for POG or ISM issues. I have mysupports from 9 weeks ago with no reply and yes they’ve been escalated. Myhelp I’ll typically get a reply within 2 days.

Actually, that's still to come.

Ours is back up around 3:40 pm. We gave free popcorn and sodas to everyone.

Some got an extra 10% off cause of no cartwheel as well.

Sounds like our registers never were completely down. They were guessing prices and doing no barcode the entire time. Whoever decided to handle it like that needs to lose their job.

 

[BullseyeBabe]

Can you imagine our inventory? I hate to think about the returns!

 

[RedcardReba]

Ugh...I hope it's up.

Today’s incident wasn’t caused by anything internal is what Michael McNamara is being told.

Oh god oh fuck it's 2013 all over again

[PotatoTomato]

Uhh they seem to be going down again

 

[RedcardReba]

Running very slow
Baskets of stuff everywhere.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

Hold tight. We're deloying the true fix right now.

Cause?

“Every team member come get go-backs every three minutes”

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

Not fully known at this time. Major shutdown was due to the services running in stores not responding appropriately which lead to the registers and myDevices calling HQ as a backup but suddenly every register enterprise wide was calling the central service which was not designed for every register calling at the same time which broke that service.

So essentially target was not prepared for 90s era tech to crash? Hopefully they will be soon after this mess?

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

None of the tech that crashed is older than 2015

I can't decide if that makes it better or worse

 

[flow4areasonuno]

None of the tech that crashed is older than 2015

That's still old by modern tech standards lol
