During this time Cumulative Update 4 for 9.1 SP14 will be installed which includes a number of bug fixes including a fix for the Item Analysis reports not being available. There will also be a patch installed to allow the Flickr mashup to work which was broken due to a recent API change in Flickr, and an updated Software Updates building blocks.
