To Justin's point, I had this exact problem when I was working on this initially. The API function: "server.errata.create" takes a boolean parameter for publishing during errata creation. I found that if I combined publishing with errata creation that I would get intermittent timeouts, it was just taking too long to complete the operation. I decided at that point to handle the publishing in a separate call and that seemed to help. I don't believe that I've run into this issue since then. Also, I have most of the functions in this script automagically retrying 4 times (I believe)... before a fatal error occurs. This should cover any random intermittent tomcat/apache communications problems. I can't think of anything right off that I can do to make this even more forgiving. Perhaps there is some tuning that can be done to increase the timeout between tomcat/apache. Perhaps your underlying Spacewalk database is slow? -Andy _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
