# SimNet Unexpected Performance Issue on 4/19/14

Dear Instructor,

We would like to inform you that the SIMnet team has corrected an unexpected issue with the SIMnet system that occurred earlier today.

The system experienced a performance degradation from 10:00AM until 12:20PM CDT on 4/19/2014 which caused you and your students to experience slow response times for SIMnet. Between 12:00PM-12:20PM CDT, SIMnet was mostly inaccessible.

As of 12:20PM CDT, the SIMnet system is functioning normally again, and our team will continue to closely monitor the system to ensure its performance.

Should you or your students experience any issues, please contact our Customer Experience Group at <http://mpss.mhhe.com/contact.php>.

We apologize for any inconvenience this caused you and your students today.

Thank you again for your patience and continued support,

The SIMnet Team

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.simnetonline.com/blog/2014-posts/simnet-unexpected-performance-issue-on-41914.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
