AES Transmissions on Fridays
**********************************************************************
Over the last few months the Automated Export System (AES) has seen an
increase in export transmissions on each Friday between 1:00 - 8:00pm
EST. Unfortunately, this has caused a slow down in response time
during that period. While the AES Developers continue to work to
resolve the slow downs, we are requesting that filers submit their
transmissions outside the above time period on Fridays when possible.
The AES will continue to process transmissions sent between
1:00 - 8:00pm EST on Fridays, however filers may experience longer
than usual response times until the issue is resolved.
Since the AES mainframe is not down, the Downtime Policy should not
be used during the Friday slow period. The Downtime Policy is
reserved for major system failures. Your transactions will be
processed, but it may take longer than usual.
We appreciate your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience.
For further information or questions, contact the AES Branch on
1-800-549-0595, menu option 1 or at askaes@census.gov.
