Latest op bulletin:
Operational Bulletin 0610-002 contained information on the User Access Control System and advised that system usage will now be permanently monitored.
The Access Control System protects the JPA system via two separate routes; firstly by restricting the rate at which people can access the system in any given moment and secondly by controlling the overall number of specific users who can be logged into JPA.
If the first type of restriction is activated ( “user ramp up” ) users will receive a message advising them that the maximum rate of log-ins has been temporarily exceeded and instructing them to retry. This type of restriction is only likely to be visible in peak access periods or during non normal events.
Tues 24 Oct will not be a “normal” activity day – following Monday’s reintroduction of RAF HR Professionals, JPA will be available to all RAF Self Service users for the first time in over a week and the initial set of RN professional users will be coming online. There is therefore a high probability that the Access Control System will be activated over peak periods to ensure that the system remains stable without performance degradation.
That would explain why our unit HR staff have been able to log on only once in the last 48 hours!
Come on, your airships - isn't it time to admit defeat and chuck it in the bin?
