  1. OPI-6267869 : US2 : Expense | Travel | Imaging | Analysis/Intelligence | Mobile : Root Cause Analysis

    Impact as Reported: We identified a service disruption affecting the availability of the Concur application in the US2 Data Center. All customers hosted in the affected Data Center experienced this impact. On the login page, users received the following error message: "Sorry, Concur is currently unavailable." The error occurred before users could enter their login credentials, preventing access to the application. Users who were already logged in during the impact window were logged out of the system and encountered the same error when attempting to access the Concur application.   Root cause: The incident was caused by a failure of edge networking hardware within the infrastructure of SAP Concur’s hyperscale hosting provider. The affected devices were responsible for routing traffic between the US2 region and external network destinations, which resulted in connectivity issues for customers accessing services hosted in that region. The hosting provider is currently conducting a detailed root cause investigation. Once completed, the provider will share the findings, along with any corrective and preventive actions, with SAP Concur. During the initial stages of the incident, the response team assessed that the impact extended beyond the US2 Data Center. This assessment was based on synthetic monitoring tests that were hosted in the same hyperscale region affected by the network hardware failure. As a result, the monitoring data generated false-positive alerts indicating issues in other SAP Concur Data Centers. Following a more detailed validation of service health across all environments, the impact assessment was refined and confirmed to be limited to the US2 Data Center. Corrective Actions: To improve monitoring accuracy and resilience, SAP Concur is migrating its synthetic monitoring tests to a geographically separate hyperscale region. This change will help ensure greater reliability of monitoring signals and reduce the risk of similar false-positive alerts in the future.
