What’s New In This Release?
Wednesday, Oct.22, 2008 — ECi is performing some maintenance on its ECinteractive® and is.D-Force® 2 Web servers tonight. The software load will take place between 9 PM Central Time TONIGHT and 6 AM CDT Thursday, Oct. 23.

For more details about your Web storefront, see also ECinteractive FAQs
(www.DDMS.com/support/doc/ecInteractive.htm).
How do I Set Up My "Down For Maintenance" Page?
Your Web storefront will be unavailable during these maintenance periods. You can schedule your site to be Offline for Maintenance by following these simple steps:
- Log into your ecInteractive or is.D-Force2 site’s Administrative Control Panel.
- (Optional) Click Site News, and then click Page Editor. Create or edit a Scheduled Maintenance page to include some text that will encourage your customers to log off before your scheduled maintenance period begins, so their work will be cached properly.
- Click Global Settings, and then click Site Maintenance.
- In the Time Settings box, check your Time Zone and Daylight Savings settings.
- In the Automatic Scheduled Maintenance box, enter the appropriate times in the Time Off and Time On boxes, in the format HH:MM AM or PM, for JUST Weekday. (Leave the Weekend time fields blank unless you have set them up for your DDMS system maintenance such as backup and day-end.)
- (Optional) Select your Scheduled Maintenance page, for JUST Weekday. (Leave the Weekend page field blank unless you have set them up for your DDMS system maintenance such as backup and day-end.)
- Click the Auto Maintenance Mode On button. At the Are You Sure message, check your time settings. If they are correct, click OK.
- Click the Update button. The changes are implemented within one minute.
NOTE: After the software update is complete, you may wish to return to these settings, and simply adjust the time off and on settings, so that your site is not unnecessarily shut down for maintenance on other weekdays.
