Re: 20000216: [Fwd: LDM version 5.0.9]

Jeff,

We have a hypothesis.  It is the case that the
products you are receiving are relatively small.
The LDM assumes a default product size of 2048 and
calculates the number of product slots by
<queueSize>/2048. Your products tend to be
signficantly smaller.  Thus, it is possible that
your queue could run out of slots.

I understand that everything was working under
IRIX 5.0.5.  But, since you allocated 75Mb perhaps
that gave you enough slots that the queue would
not need to grow.  Please look at the log entries
for this configuration and see what the queue
usage is there.

Also, we would like you to test 5.0.9 on IRIX
using identical parameters to 5.0.5.  That is,
start with a 75Mb queue.  Please let us know the
results, especially the queue usage.

Regardless of the outcome of the above test, you
can use the -S option in pqcreate to specify the
number of slots you want for your queue.  Give
this a try, but, if possible, please do the above
tests first so we can confirm our suspicions.

By the way, we are aware that the -s option to
pqcreate is not working.  Our apologies for that.

Also, I understand that it is often easier to talk
rather than send email.  However, email is
important to us because we use it to track our
efforts, interact with each other, and populate
our database.  So, please send email in the
future.  Thank you!

Anne
