CM/ECF System Outage: 02/13/09 - 02/16/09

Tuesday, February 10, 2009

The court will be installing a new version of CM/ECF the weekend of February 13 - 16, Version 3.3.1. To accomplish this CM/ECF will be removed from service at 4:00 P.M. Friday, February 13th. Service is expected to be restored by Sunday evening the 15th.

There are many parts to this upgrade. Under best circumstances service may be restored as early as Sunday evening. Under less than ideal circumstances we may not have things back in service until Monday afternoon/evening. We will send a message to you when the system is up, but you may also test for system availability by logging in late Sunday afternoon.

If you wish to try the new version of CM/ECF you may do so by visiting "https://ecf-test.ilnb.uscourts.gov/" and logging-in. The same login name and password you use in our Live area will work in the Test area. Please be certain you are in the Test area. Our test area will look like the image in the following link: CM/ECF Test Area image.  If it does not DO NOT perform any data entry.

If you or your organization have developed any automated processes used with CM/ECF we strongly urge you to test them in our Test area before you use them with this new version of CM/ECF.

Thank you for attention and understanding.
