Resolved after 1 hour 15 minutes, affecting Expense and Invoice, on March 18, 2016.
Expense and Invoice were intermittently unavailable. Users were unable to log in. If already logged in, users experienced errors, slow processing or were logged out when performing administrative functions, attempting to create, view, save, approve expense reports or process payment requests. The cause of this issue was due to a product enhancement to facilitate Expense database migrations that was released with a defect that caused the wrong version data to be cached. The incorrect caching caused a version mismatch, which ultimately resulted in the Expense Tab not being visible to customers. To resolve the issue, the defect that caused the incorrect caching was fixed. To prevent reoccurrence, the bug that caused the incorrect cached value to arise has been fixed. The tool has been modified to run in a true "no-op" mode as intended so pre-validation can be executed without impact.
