214.0. "The Confused Clusters !" by INCH::DAW (oa in a manger ...) Tue Feb 14 1989 17:34

    I just thought I'd put in a topic about the clusters in general!
    
    What on earth is happening to CURRNT at the moment ?
    
    One minute the queue manager isn't running, the next all (well most)
    of the logical name tables disappear (including mine), then the queue's
    are running so slowly that you're forced to go and get a coffee,
    before you're even notified that the job is 'pending'

    Is there any reason for the machines behaving like this, or am I
    naive to think that anything is wrong at all.
    
    Yours clusteredly

At the moment? This problem has been occuring for six months, or more.
I regularly log hot-lines about it.

After this length of time, I am extremely suprised that the problem still
exists. Isn't it about time that it was escalated?

214.3It's being cleaned up at the moment.CURRNT::RUSSELLOh, NO! You didn't press THAT key!Wed Feb 15 1989 15:1512
    There has been a specific problem with the queue manager on CURRNT,
    caused mainly by what seems to have been a "run away' program,
    putting literally thousands of requests into a queue.
    
    As you can imagine, the poor old queue manager got a severe attack
    of migraine.....
    
    It's in the process of being cleaned up now; the errant user has
    been politely informed of the error of their ways; hopefully the
    queue manager can now get on with managing it's queues!
