Please be aware that CalSAWS experienced a brief outage yesterday, Wednesday, August 19, between 2:00 PM and 2:40 PM PDT, to complete an emergency deployment for a critical defect.

If your staff were active in CWS-CARES Production Simulation (CARES 100) during this window and attempted to submit transactions to and from CalSAWS, please advise them to review their recent activity and follow the steps below:

  • Transactions Marked "Successful" in CWS-CARES but Missing in CalSAWS: If a transaction sent between 2:00 PM and 2:40 PM shows as successful in CWS-CARES but has not appeared in CalSAWS, please log a CalSAWS finding.
  • Transactions Marked "Failed" in CWS-CARES: If any transaction submitted during this window is showing as failed on CWS-CARES, please re-submit the transaction.

We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure data consistency across system environments.
