Supra upgrade – maintenance 6-8 PST Wednesday June 16

Members, please be aware that Supra will be under maintenance tomorrow evening – Wednesday June 16. Maintenance will begin at 6:00 PM PDT and will be complete by 8:00 PM PDT. During this time, voice and web updates will still be available. Keyholders will be able to eSYNC. SupraNET and IVR will NOTbe available. SupraWEB will be available for update codes only during the maintenance period. Also, Supra Keyholder Support, 1-877-699-6787, will be available to provide key updating assistance.

Supra Update

Supra update: We have restored all functionality for the keyholders. The ActiveKEY and eKEY showing activity during the outage was restored yesterday. DisplayKEY showing activity has been populating as the key syncs.

We’re still doing the final root cause analysis, but it appears to be linked to some of the new servers we installed last month. We put these through rigorous quality assurance testing before installing them, but started seeing performance issues Tuesday. Working with the manufacturer, we implemented a fix and are closely monitoring the situation. Fortunately, the back up service enabled us to keep the keyholders “in business” while we worked through the night to restore full availability.

Again, we apologize for the incovenience.

Supra Key Update

Update from SupraKey – We have been working through the night on the server outage. Currently, we are in disaster recovery mode which provides update codes to keyholders. As of 3:00 am PST, we have found the issue and SupraNET is available to issue keys. DisplayKEY and eKEY users needing to access KeyBoxes can obtain a …voice update from the system by dialing 1-888-968-4032.
SupraWEB will be restored later in the day with ActiveKEY and eKEY data present. DisplayKEY showing activity will be delayed until the key syncs. We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide another update when fully restored. Supra Support Team
