Hello All,
I ran into one wierd issue in my Production environment. We have every quarterly release and which happend this month. Post major release, we were fixing few Production bugs and moving to Production as part of break fix. So, we had around 2 break fixes Post major release. We had one yesterday where we have to fix one common schema refered by all dll's. Now, usually we will do the deployment by just GACing without stopping the application. But yesterday, our admin team stopped the appliation and used "Add Assembly" option for only Common Schema dll and remaining dll's he just GACed it. Started the application and everything was fine. But in the morning, all business users reported that everying is breaking. What ever break fix went Post porduction were reverted back to major Prod release. In the GAC also, all the dll's timestamp got changed. For tim being, we moved all the dll and just GACed to our Prod servers (clustered - 2 servers) and it started working. Our admin told that , they did the same to QA (single server - NO CLUSTER), but there were no issue. Everything is working as expected. Also, the GAC timestamp didnt change.
I am wondering, what might have caused this issue.
If someone faced this similar issue, please let me know why this behaviour.
Thanks
