docwiki.embarcadero.com is not working

[jeroenp 26]

There is some progress: response times have become faster (no more 10 seconds to wait for the error 500 response) and some bits of the Alexandria wiki are working.

 

Working:

- [Wayback/Archive] RAD Studio (Alexandria: RADStudio)

- [Wayback/Archive] RAD Studio API Documentation (Alexandria: Libraries)

Failing: [Archive] Internal error - RAD Studio Code Examples (Alexandria: CodeExamples)

 

But hey: getting 2 out of the some 42 wikis for the English language (in the mean time I figured out there are 3 wikis for each Delphi version; the actual number is times 4 as there is English, French, German and Japanese) working in some 38 hours is still slow.

Response Time Last 2 days

In the German DP for the first time an Embarcadero employee contributed something on this topic:

Which means "Search doesn't work yet".

 

So apparently the improvement we currently see was due to some work that was done and not just by chance.

This seems much more responsive today than in the past:  https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Main_Page

I assume this is on new hardware.  I'd call that progress.

[Mike Torrettinni 198]

Great! Just a little something they still need to do:

That is part of what I mentioned in "Failing: [Archive] Internal error - RAD Studio Code Examples (Alexandria: CodeExamples)"

 

For now it looks like en/de/fr/ja work for RADStudio and Libraries, but not for Code Examples.

Yes, perhaps this thread and us being vocal with our keyboards helped move things along! Let's hope the momentum is kept until every page works.

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

If it is moving content from a backup or whatever to a new system, that can be some tedious manual work. Currently the docs for Alexandria look promising, although search doesn't work yet. Older versions may be added later.

The Iranian's using the log4j vulnerability probably hacked the site: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/02/iranian-state-hackers-are-using-log4shell-to-infect-unpatched-vmware-servers/

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

That might be more than a story. Remember the good old days when the IDE home page was hacked to display pro-ISIS messages?

Maybe it'll be fixed after Wednesday. See: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7497661470554577420

I'm reminded of an American expression "All hat and no cattle...."

Pleasantly surprised the Alexandria page has been working for the last few days! Good progress! 🤸‍♂️

 

[DJof SD 13]

Maybe by the summer solstice they'll have restored the Tokyo pages.

[Mike Torrettinni 198]

Why Tokyo? Alexandria's been out for months.

[DJof SD 13]

I have projects which were started under Tokyo. Some day I'll migrate those 11.x but for the time being, I continue to use that older editions of RS.

[Ann Lynnworth 11]

Maybe this is obvious but I'll just say: the google Cache feature is quite useful on those days when the docwiki goes offline. 

 

Google moved that cache feature (in google chrome on desktop, at least).  Now it's hidden under the triple-dot menu at the right edge of each normal search result line, and then you have to click the Cache button bottom-right. 

 

Definitely better than waiting for docwiki to come back online.

 

 

 

 

[DJof SD 13]

Ann, thanks for the tip. It just might be what I could use for that occasional need to read the documentation.

 

But, I'm not a regular Google user, so, if you would, is this cache something only available from their browser or is there a URL that would get me started (I'm a Firefox user).

 

TIA

Interesting that Embarcadero advertises a patch for 11.3 TODAY thru an email and both "My.Embarcedero.com" is down and GetIt is also down.

[DJof SD 13]

Try again -- I just got onto the site and could select the patch to D/L.

 

[zed 14]

And here we go again!

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

Works for me.

[CyberPeter 11]

It appears to be back for me as well (It was offline 24 hours ago)

[Gordon Kenyon 0]

Down again now for 24 hours and so is Getit - Gateway time outs from Getit.
