You may encounter the message APP NOT RUNNING in the System Health Monitor on the home page. When this occurs, the connection between your SIS database and LYNX is halted until the error is resolved.
The error is caused when LYNX does not detect the presence of the locally installed Java application that connects to your SIS (Student Information System) database.
The most common cause is that the application has been turned off. Service should automatically be restored when it attempts to connect to LYNX again, usually within the next 60 seconds. Some other possible causes are listed below.
Please note that LYNX notification emails are not sent for APP NOT RUNNING warnings.
If restarting the application does not restore the connection, contact support@collegenet.com.
