Remember the trouble I had with filing my unemployment insurance claim? Tonight the N.C. ESC’s website is non-functional again.
Since I didn’t work last week (and won’t work this week as my start date has been moved back a week), I’m looking to spend my 30 seconds filling out the ESC’s five question form so I can get paid. Ain’t happening so far.
This is yet another troubling sign for North Carolina’s economy.
Here’s the error message I get (when I get an error message):
CICS.XFAPIN.1 error ‘800a0837’
(2103) The connect request failed. IP Address: 207.192.50.90, Port: 3020, Error description: Connection timed out
/include/login/gLoginCode.asp, line 74
Update 5 Jan 12:30 PM: WRAL has an update. Seems “too many people” were accessing the site. Also, I just successfully filed my claim. Looks like the site is still being hammered, though.
My guess is that they have distributed transactions and the system with the key transaction has a problem with it’s CICS.
