No Master database update this past week

[InspireWaukesha87]

I noticed in sentinel that there is no master database update this past week, my version says 11/3/19 and when hitting the update button it says it the version is current, I thought database update usually comes out every Sunday night/Monday afternoon, anyone know why it hasn't come out yet? Thanks

System's had the hiccups for a day or so; the staff's straightened most of it out, still a bit to go yet.

We had a number of agencies impacted by power failures due to high winds. If that interrupted the database pull into Uniden's server (their office is in Irving; no idea, specifically, where their server for the database information is located), then it may have terminated the data transfer prematurely. In the past, when that occurred, UPMan might force a manual run a day or two after the scheduled run, but as we know, he is unavailable due to medical leave. And the problems with the RadioReference site over the weekend, as smithw noted would have also had an effect. Unless someone else at Uniden initiates a manual rerun, then likely we won't see an update until next week.

We have the southern part of that same system. Temps in the morning should be low to mid twenties, with wind chills possiobly as low as single digits. Highly unusual for the DFW area this time of year.

The RR main site and Database both went down Sunday evening.
That is also when Uniden pulls the database for Sentinel. I suspect Unidens server could not connect so the downloads were aborted.
Sometimes Uniden will schedule and off schedule pull but if not, don't expect to see a new version until this coming Monday.
