<div>In case anyone is wondering why the Conext portal data has been screwed up for a week, and as of this moment most sites are offline:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">" The data processing side of Conext Insight is having troubles with the current workload. The data is not lost, but it can take a significant amount of time for some packets to be completely processed.
If a single packet takes too long to process, it is rescheduled for a random time in the future in the hopes that the workload on the machine is lower and the packet will be successfully processed. It appears that some packets are being rescheduled repeatedly
and taking a week to land in a window when they can be successfully processed.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">The design team has identified this issue and is addressing it at the moment by simplifying the layout of the database tables to speed up processing. This process requires that all existing data
in the database be restructured to the new table layout. As this is a very large and long running transaction, packet processing is effectively on hold for the rest of the day. It should begin to clear up in a few hours as the backlog of packets is processed
through."</span></font></div>
