The cause of frequent breakdowns of computers and servers was found in the Berlin authorities. According to the Information Technology Services Center (ITDZ) on Wednesday, outdated judicial software is primarily responsible for the problems of the past few weeks.
In mid-November, ITDZ confirmed that computers in the Supreme Court, in the Senate School of the Senate’s Department of Interior and in the Central District Office had repeatedly failed. This led to restrictions on access to applications in the areas of youth care and school management.
According to ITDZ, a task force of 50 specialists and in-house manufacturer experts discovered the cause of the central storage system overload: an attempt to integrate an old justice program called Aulak from the 1990s into the network caused the server to become an unstable router.
Aulak means “automation of the provincial court, district courts, and the Supreme Court”. It was introduced in order to connect court offices, the printing service, protocol, judges and judicial staff to each other and was later used in other fields.
After discovering the cause, an RBB spokeswoman said ITDZ installed the systems in a targeted manner. Since November 26, the systems often affected by this have been running without problems and without restrictions.
