someone torrent in main server..

8am - said down
11am - said switch to DR site
1.30 said - switch back to production.
2pm said - trading start at 3.30
3.25pm said - whole day will be suspended....

Let's go propose a new HA IT system for KLSE

..........whole day gone...no trading at all.
anybody here know wat was happening?

the core trading system already have HA feature, but they said is multiple hardware failure, then must be so unlucky the DR system also having hardware problem. There must be some system admin there under tremendous pressure to fix this issue, do anyone here know how much revenue bursa get in a typical day?

but i wonder why it take so long to replace the hardware, such critical system should have support contract to get the parts within hours, maybe there is some program update to mess up the data so they take so long time to recover.

Mayb Khairy wanna press sell all AA shares @ 90cents but key in wrongly @9cents, so they have to shut it down and then propose to cancel all transaction for today just for that.

maybe to prevent massive selling activities caused by the Najib news?

the future market still open, it is down 27 point, so tomorrow still will be dropping

I think should be maintenance wise issue..

You know lah..

Malaysia..

The suspension of the Bursa is probably due to Anwar's press conference. I am very sure tomorrow we will be triggering the circuit breaker.

circuit breaker will automatically take effect if market drop 10%, it need to drop more than 100 point to hit it.

and for the 1st time ever, it happened on 10th March 2008.

Tomorrow is Friday and my guess is that the hardware still gonna fail and Bursa chief is going to secure his job by following orders from BN that KLSE still above 1100 after the weekend. Hooray for the CEO and moolah for BN.

Tommorow sure big sell down. If hardware failure or glitches sure easily solve. I think KLSE got hacked.

like typical lar..if not attacked wat else..

you never know the real deal behind till you are in it.

as mentioned before...it is iether internally attcked or externally...

cannot said for sure what happen unless you work in BURSA, i am working on enterprise server system and have experience with financial system before. The core transaction system are the crown jewel of the business, it is likely a mainframe or a fault tolerant server like HP NonStop server. These server have very very high uptime measure in years, it is also very hard to hack because this is not Windows or UNIX/LINUX with available exploit code and script can be download online, you need to write the exploit code and be a expert in these system to success.

Although the system are tough something sh*t happen and maybe due some weird combination of hardware and software issue they cannot bring the server up, for bursa the impact will be huge the CEO and CIO may lost its job. or you can believe this is a conspiracy by the gov

the official story is the harddisk problem, i find it hard to believe this, the DR site should be bring up resume operation but looks like their DR is not working, something is not right about this. SC and BNM should investigate if they have fake the DR test report, as all financial institution need to DR working and able to swing transaction over within minute, they need to have regular DR test and submit report to BNM, not sure if BURSA system have the same requirement

What's the news now guys?

any news or shut down for today?

hehe no shutdown today ler, been running fine since morning.

In Malaysia, it won't. Malaysia doesn't have this kind of culture.

A single hardisk problem can cause whole core trading system jam up, no redundancy or backup plan?
