Hi everyone

As some of you are already aware, we are currently experiencing a connectivity issue with our online services, Reckon Accounts Hosted and Reckon One. Our IT team is looking into it as a matter of priority but it appears to be a infrastructure related issue. 

We have logged a severity 1 case with our vendor.

I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused. This thread will be updated with more information as soon as it comes to hand.

Rav


UPDATE - 5:15pm
Hi everyone, the cause has been identified as external to Reckon. Investigations are continuing.


UPDATE - 5:30pm
Hi everyone,

The team have identified the cause of the issue as being external to Reckon however we are receiving early reports that connectivity has been restored. Please try logging in and let me know if you encounter any issues.


UPDATE - 5:50pm
Hi all,

Hosted solutions are functional however our vendor is still working toward a full resolution.


UPDATE - 6:30pm
Hi everyone,
The latest update from our vendor is that some systems are continuing to experience connectivity issues. Work is continuing to rectify this at the highest priority.


UPDATE - 7:20pm
We are seeing progressive improvements in connectivity and performance for Reckon Accounts Hosted. Reckon One connectivity has been restored.


UPDATE - 9:15pm
Reckon One connectivity issues have been resolved.

The majority of Reckon Accounts Hosted servers are back in operation, however one remains unavailable (RAH-FSS-11). The cause of this issue originates with an external infrastructure partner and our team is working closely with them to resolve this matter as quick as possible.

UPDATE - 7:15am 6 July
If you have files on FSS-11 please do not use them for the moment we are looking into a data issue ASAP and will be turning off that server temporarily.


UPDATE - 8:12am
The remaining issue with RAH-FSS-11 has been resolved and full services are back in operation. Please let us know if you encounter any further access issues.


FINAL UPDATE - 12:10pm
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you a final update regarding the issue which impacted access to Reckon Accounts Hosted and Reckon One on Sunday evening. The cause originated from a widespread issue with our infrastructure vendor Amazon Web Services (AWS) and affected a number of service providers across Australia.

Our IT team worked closely with AWS to ascertain the issue and establish regular updates along with eliminating the risk of any data loss for our users. Reckon One was back online at approximately 7pm and the majority of Accounts Hosted services were back in operation at approximately 7:45pm. A small number of users regained access just after 11pm Sunday night with some further remedial work being completed early this morning to ensure all user files were intact and up to date.

Full access to Reckon One and Reckon Accounts Hosted is available and if you do have any issues please let us know.

Thank you all for your patience during this time and we sincerely apologise for the frustration caused.

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Reckon Hosted connection problems. I. Unable to connect at all Sunday 5 June 2016.  Is this a known issue? Any ETA on it being fixed?

    Hi Rav,
    Finally got to login, but extremely slow.
    And it's not recognising some of my different client folders, saying that the name is invalid.

    Hi Mario,

    Very sorry to hear you are affected by this issue. Our vendor is still working on a full resolution however in the interim could you please try logging off any active user sessions from your Hosted Control Panel, then logout fully using the logout option and retry?

    Let me know

    Cheers
    Rav

    Hi All,

    I have been able to connect successfully to both Hosted and Reckon One.  If anyone does have difficulty still, try logging off via the control panel > log off remote sessions.

    Regards,
    Shane.

    Further to this, I can access some files but not others. Some open ok, whilst others say That the company file you selected could not be found. Then if I go to open or restore to find them that's when I get the Windows Cannot Access error message.

    Very sorry about this Robyn and Sovy,

    Our vendor is working on rectifying this at the highest priority. Some services have come back online however there are still underlying connectivity issues which is contributing to the experience you've described.

    Please bear with us and thank you for your patience.

    Hi Rav - I'm quite new to using Reckon and terrified I've lost all the work I've done for my client since March - this is the error I'm getting. I login on different PC's and laptops. Freaking out a bit here! image

    Totally understandable Cath, this is more related to a connectivity issue so there should be no impact on your data.

    Hope to have another update to share shortly.

    Cheers

    I'm trying to log in, it tells me to create a new company file or open a current one but then I can't see it to open it.  So frustrating, I have so much work to do :(
