Notice: Trimble Transportation Update

Scheduled Maintenance: Major Outage

Date & Time: Saturday, April 27th, 2024, 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM CST

An upcoming maintenance event has been scheduled, which will significantly impact several service components. This maintenance is scheduled for Saturday, April 27th, 2024, from 8:00 PM CST to 12:00 AM (00:00) CST, lasting four hours. The scheduled maintenance is necessary to ensure the continued reliability and performance of our systems.

During the maintenance period, the listed service components will be unavailable as our system engineering team works carefully to improve and update our infrastructure. This maintenance event will temporarily affect some of your customer services.

Impacted Services:

  • PeopleNet Fleet Manager Portal: During this maintenance period, the portal will be inaccessible, including access to the VI Tab (Video Intelligence tab) and ELD Tab. Users will not be able to login and use any feature with the PFM for the duration of the maintenance.
  • Open Interface and Link Integration Services: Automated Workflow, Integration Messages to and from trucks, Location Overview, Driver Log Data, Cycle Time Availability, and Data Delivery data transmissions will all experience delays during this maintenance.
  • Mobile-originated and Mobile Terminated Device Communications: Message and data transmissions between a mobile device and the PFM or back office will experience delays during the maintenance event. This includes functions such as breadcrumbs, faults, finds, workflow messaging, device messaging, Onboard Event Recordings (OERs), and email messaging.
  • Trimble Fleet Manager: During the maintenance event, there will be minor latency in delivering data to the TFM. As a result, your scheduled reports may be delayed or contain data that is not up to date. Access to the Electronic Driver Logs (ELD) tool will be delayed or limited
  • Instinct: Driver Workflow and Vehicle Device Messaging will experience delays in transmission during the maintenance period.

Non-Impacted Services:

  • Video Intelligence Hardware: During the maintenance period, access to Onboard Event Recordings (OER) and the VI video portal on both the PFM and TFM portals will be unavailable. However, the Video Intelligence hardware will continue to operate as usual, capturing real-time video data. After the maintenance period concludes, the captured video will be delivered to the portals as usual.

After the maintenance is completed, the services mentioned above will return to their normal functionality. It is important to note that all data will still be queued internally, and no customer data will be lost during this event.

We appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance the quality of our services and assure you that we will make every effort to minimize downtime. To stay up to date on this April 27th, 2024 maintenance window, and future maintenance windows, please subscribe to the Trimble status page.

On the evening of July 14th, at approximately 8 pm central, the PFM ELD Portal was patched to version 11.6.22 in order to apply an update relating to fleets undergoing server migration:

• Before, an issue with the Migrate API was causing CDL to not migrate. After the fix, terminals and drivers can be migrated to a TT instance.

Friday, June 17, 2022

at approximately 8 pm central, on Friday, June 17 the PFM ELD Portal was patched successfully to version 11.6.18. This update is related to third-party certification testing (not an issue reported by customers). No downtime occurred during this deployment window.

• Canadian data files named according to regulatory standard: After this change, the first Canada data file generated has characters 17-25 as zeros, because that is the default required by regulations. All following data files for a given log day will have that string of characters be different from the first, to distinguish between files.

• A configuration change to enable the Publish HoS Availability to TTC functionality that was deployed in the 11.6.0 build but set to disabled. This is purely internal facing.

• Correcting an issue that hindered log pulling.

• A code update for the sev 3 prod incident. Deploying this change removes the risk that should we have a server go down and a new server fire up in its place, the build that would be installed would be the same one (11.6.0) deployed last Saturday, which would overwrite the hotfix.

• Logging for EFSS-7547, which is one of our top 6 critical customer-facing bugs. We hope that the extra logging will provide info on the root cause.
