Over the past few days and again starting this morning, Jetstream2, the cloud platform we host both our public (edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu) and beta (edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu) EDEX servers on, is currently experiencing technical outages which are outside our control. Once the systems come back online, I would like you to test stopping CAVE, removing caveData (http://unidata.github.io/awips2/appendix/common-problems/#removing-cavedata) and restarting CAVE to see if that fixes your issues. I recommend subscribing to our awips-users mailing list where we will provide information if there are outages and when they have been resolved.
