Hi Simon,

What error code should we expect when making a request to http://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk/v1-0/xmlgw/Gateway during these maintenance periods.

Thank you

Hello,

These maintenance windows differ depending on what is being done.

The latest one last weekend was purely advisory as our systems were not being taken down (and in the end there was no disruption whatsoever).

In the instances where we do need to disable access to our systems, there could be any number of error messages or time out errors, again depending on what is being done, so its really difficult to provide a comprehensive answer unfortunately.

Apologies

Hi Simon,

Is it possible that we would still receive a 200 response from http://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk/v1-0/xmlgw/Gateway during maintenance?

Thank you

Yes, it is possible that a 200 response could be returned from http://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk/v1-0/xmlgw/Gateway during maintenance.

Hi Simon,

We haven't been informed of any further maintenance but should we assume more is likely?

Thanks again

Hello again,

There will be more, as we continue to move to the Cloud, but nothing is planned for the next few weeks.
