** Your AR Servers are probably on windows and connect to Oracle setup as a Remote database?

While you can indeed have users on the other systems while you perform the updates, the other servers become nearly unusable as the cache updates, especially for anything other than very minor changes. I’ve simply had less issues if I simply bring down the other servers during the changes and then bring them back up again after. In my experience, that actually provides a better user experience, because knowing that it’s down for a short time is easier to deal with than extremely slow performance during a cache update.

When working like it should, the secondary servers 'do not know' about the def changes that have occured due to changes made from the primary server, until the new cache on the primary server has been recreated, and the primary server then signals the secondary servers that there has been a change... When properly setup it does work as designed. Anthony, are all your servers in the server group of the same configuration, and running the same applications? What is the physical memory on the servers?

Things just go more smoothly that way.

Anyone seen this?
