I use the same version on my prod system, because 5.16 is the only Perl version where I can provide the NetSNMP module for windows. Btw.: I use all features and Plugins on my prod system. assp requires 500MB pMEM , 500MB vMEM at maximum >mail server the service takes forever to stop and the restart is quick. MaxFinConWaitTime:=45 ASSP will wait up to 45 seconds before it terminates. To see what happens at shutdown time, start assp in console mode and press ^C . FOR linux users !!! Your service script has to wait for assp to end at shutdown time - it can be hard terminated after 'MaxFinConWaitTime' seconds. IF the service script does not wait - this WILL destroy the main and internal assp databases if BerkeleyDB is used. >when it reaches 950mb assp requires at least 4 cores and 2GB RAM on 32 Bit Perl.

No, not for several years. > Would an update to Perl resolve some of these weird issues? No, I don't think so. Newer Perl versions will perform better, will use less memory, have newer unicode versions, have optimized regex performance - BUT these facts will not solve a stucking worker problem! Stucking workers are caused by a bad system design. >I just want to plan for down time As a windows user, you have luck. Use a second system, install all required applications, install Perl and run the assp module installer, bring Perl up date. Do this on the same drive like your prod system. Stop assp, rename the Perl folder on your prod system, copy the new Perl to your prod system, start assp. >what version should I update to latest 5.20 will be fine - but you can use perl_5.20.1__4-assp.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/files/ASSP%20V2%20multithreading/ASSP%20V2%20module%20installation/ run the module installer one time to bring the repo database up to date - after this run ppm-shell ppm>update --install Thomas Von: Jay <[email protected]> An: For Users of ASSP <[email protected]> Datum: 02.07.2015 18:30 Betreff: [Assp-user] Is this a ASSP issue or Perl version issue? Hey everyone. So I have a weird issue that I thought I would ask about and see whether anyone would have any input on. We are currently using ASSP version 2.4.1(14085) and Perl version 5.16.3 (32bit) by ActiveState, when I restart the ASSP service running on our mail server the service takes forever to stop and the restart is quick. We also run into an issue where when ASSP restarts itself, it hangs. We have the policy in place for memory usage and have ASSP restart itself when it reaches 950mb. There have been rare instance as well that Perl will hang in the task manager and ASSP will not respond. So a service restart is the only recourse to have email start flowing again. So my question is this, has anyone else run into this situation? Would an update to Perl resolve some of these weird issues? The concern I have is if I update Perl, what version should I update to that would not cause too many issues, and what I mean by that is concerned about breaking modules in ASSP. Anyone running a newer version of Perl? How difficult was it to update? I just want to plan for down time if this is the way to go. I have to let my users know. Thank you a head of time for any input. I appreciate it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business. Reach for the Cloud.
