We run our export procedures from a batch queue.
Many times the polling fails
Time of last failed poll = "23-JUN-1993 21:49:46.71",
Last poll failure reason = "schedule time passed",
Does this indicate that the batch job never got run for time it was
submitted? We of course purge our logs so there is not a record
of the failure. I believe that our system, a VAX 3100 with 32MB
of memory is overloaded and could be causing these failures.
Any ideas? Thanks.

A VAXstation (it IS a VAXstation?) 3100 of any sort is not supported
by any current version of DECmcc. 32 mb is a it on the light size (one
reasone we can't support VS3100s) and the SPD lists 48mb as a minimum.
Keep in mind that a minimum config will work correctly doing a minimum
number of things.
I suspect that your configuration is slow enough that things are taking
too long and scheduled times are being missed.

| 5259.2 | Try delay argument for background process | TOOK::SHMUYLOVICH | Thu Jun 24 1993 16:45 | 18 | |

You are right, your system is overloaded.
You can try to decrease the pick load from the exporter by using the
second argument to the background process. This argument introduces
a delay (in seconds) between exporting requests execution It prevents
exporting requests from competing for execution. Please, remember that
this will delay the first execution of all requests except the first one.
For example, if you have 10 active exportings and specify delay as
60 (1 minute) the last exporting will be "activated" in 10 minutes after
the background restarts.
