The system is normally up from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM,
except for Fridays when it is up from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM
and Sundays when it is up from 12:00 Noon to 2:00 PM.
On statutory holidays, the system is up from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
(Why does the system have to go down? Because every night
we have to run several hours of system backups, batch reports,
bulk updates and data extracts, and these all require that the
databases be closed to online processing).
