MySQL Transformations Temporal Outage

Today, 11.2.2016 between 11:50 - 12:50 CET we encountered short outage of our MySQL transformation server which at the time led to fail the running transformations and no new transformations could be started either. The server is now up and everything is running properly. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
