Re: FW: Remedy Server Group issues

I forgot to add Remedy versions.

We had Remedy version 7.0 untill september 20. We don't have any locking
issues in our 7.0 environment during migration. After we upgrade to ARS 7.5
we got this locking issues during migration.

Thanks Andrew,

I guess we have to add these parameters in all server ar.conf file.
Delay-Recache-Time: 300
Select-Query-Hint: NOLOCK

When we set this does all secondary servers (we have 3 secondary servers)
try to recache at same time, that cause any locking problem.

Thanks,
Ananth

It happened to me when the system memory is low. I will close few windows
and flashing goes away.
