After the morning, switch back to symbolic address; any delays should be short-lived. As a reminder, our server has limited capacity and is not a long-term repository. Files are retained on the server for 3 months after creation on the server. Operationally, the rolling window appears longer right now but we reserve the right to delete older files should the server become crowded.
