On Saturday, October 12, 2024, eLMS application handling services will be temporarily stopped for a period lasting over several hours. This will not impact the ability to view data on systems.
The REC Enhanced License Management System (eLMS) is a suite of programs that monitor application and action activity in the Federal Communications Commission's Licensing Management System (LMS) and has the unique capability of reading individual applications and posting information to REC systems on the same day as the filing or action without having to wait for a raw data update. eLMS also displays application details that are not included in the FCC's LMS raw data dump. This monitoring is done through a periodic polling of the LMS public view through an REC system called LMSlist.
Normally on weekends, due to the extremely low filing volume that takes place, LMSlist accesses the LMS Public View once every 60 minutes to search for any new applications (including amendments) or actions on existing applications.
In order to accommodate the clean movement of data from Legacy to System40, we must freeze eLMS for a period of several hours on Saturday, October 12, 2024. This will allow us to properly copy the existing data to System 40. Once this copying is completed, LMSlist updates will resume in a "dual operation" involving both Legacy and System40.
REC will be issuing a separate Network Change Notice to advise of temporary schedule changes that will take place during the period of dual operation.
