20 Nov 2017 problems with mainline W&B/maintenance reporting system

On UA 1169 IAH-LAX and have been sitting out on the tarmac for 45+ minutes. Our captain made a brief and bit confusing announcement about a System-wide shutdown. Cannot find any info online or anywhere else. Any one know what's going On? Of course app doesn't show any relevant info.

I’m on UA638 IAH-ORD and we seem to be taxiing now after a maintenance delay, no mention of a system wide anything this morning.

Maintenance Release Documents (MRD) were not reporting correctly to the flight deck, including release times, etc...

Dispatch had to verbally confirm with Tech Ops as a workaround.

Aahhh. Okay. Now I can wrap my head around why we're waiting out on the tarmac. The captain's announcement just made things a bit confusing for me. Thanks

Finally took flight around 8:45am. Captain still used "System-wide shutdown" as description / explanation for delay.
Sometimes you get no update announcements, sometimes you get great informative announcements, and a day like today for me, you get announcements that just make me scratch my head.
Safe flights to you folks.
