We value working with you, so we want to reassure you that PSMA is taking steps to ensure we continue to meet our commitments to customers and suppliers.

We’re feeling for everyone affected by COVID-19 here in Australia and around the world, and we’re committed to both:

• protecting our staff and those we work with, like you, from the immediate risk of the virus; and
• slowing the spread of the virus, to protect the most vulnerable members of our community.

What is PSMA’s Business Continuity Plan?

PSMA is continuing to operate as normal, with the following important differences until further notice:
1. From Wednesday, 18 March 2020, our staff will be working remotely during regular business hours.
2. We’re not travelling for work.
3. All our business meetings are being conducted via phone or videoconferencing. If you have any face to face meetings or events with us planned, we will be in contact to reschedule to a video conference (we use Zoom, but we can also work with your video conference provider).
Our commitment to you remains unchanged. We’re still available, and we look forward to supporting you during these extraordinary times.

Kind regards,

Dan Paull, CEO
PSMA Australia

- This maintenance only affects PSMA Cloud users of GNAF Live address functions (including batch).
- There will be no outage associated with this change.
- The changes will be evident at start-of-business on Thursday 4 March.
- The changes are already deployed in the PROD SUPPORT environment for customer testing.

Our REST API services are NOT affected by this change.

We are updating the process used for the daily contribution of addresses into the GNAF Live dataset.
The new address process will cause changes to the addressIdentifier and jurisdictionId fields for SA, NT, QLD, ACT, VIC and TAS addresses.

The structure of those values will now change from being entirely numeric to alpha-numeric characters.

Some examples:

12 BUCKLAND ST, PARAFIELD GARDENS SA
Now:
addressIdentifier: GLSA_401225753
jurisdictionId: 401225753
New:
addressIdentifier: GLSA_add18c789f591fa (Note the ‘GL’ prefix remains)
jurisdictionId: add18c789f591fa

4 FIR ST, INALA QLD
Now:
addressIdentifier: GLQLD306187259
jurisdictionId: 306187259
New:
addressIdentifier: GLQLDadd9f15888c5134
jurisdictionId: add9f15888c5134


In summary:
- This only affects GNAF-Live addresses
- jurisdictionId and addressIdentifier changes from numeric characters to alpha-numeric
- jurisdictionId field length can be up to 15 characters long

These changes have already been deployed in the PROD SUPPORT environment for customer testing and verification.

If you have any questions or issues with the maintenance please advise Geoscape Support (support@geoscape.com.au) as soon as possible.
