Hi guys, we have this little problem, actually its a great big monster of one but I didnt want to scare anyone on my first post.
We are running 11.6.sp3 in Design TTY mode through a batch process, we have two macros running simulataneously (two seperate spawn process from syscom via a batch entry) that are copying HUGE quantaties of data from a number of databases into one new almost empty db, which is a design db, multiwrite, implicit claim. The new db is created before the macros run, so we know its both clean and empty. Anyway after a considerable period of frantic activity the macros do a savework (which could be at the same time, or maybe not). Invariably, but not always the second macro to savework crashes, with the error code above, now thatnks to someone on here copying the error codes I know what it means, actually I know what it says it means, not exactly the same thing.
So, which one of you guys has any idea what a 503 really means, my gut feeling is there is just too much data going down the poor little wire and its frying its brains out, if it does succeed (and it does sometimes) then the file size is about 0.3 Gb, so not enormous.
I dont want to do a savework more frequently as experience has shown me frequent savework clogs the poor little pcs brain and gets slower and slower, the batch job doesnt have time for this. We have tried it on a copy project, so we had no users and still it crashes, only occasionally, just like the real Project. I suppose I could create a number of dbs and get the copy data into those rather than a single db, but I'm a lazy bloke and I want an easy life. We have to copy the files across network to our other offices as we arent convinced Global can handle the transfer in the time slot.
Oh the joys of running Global Multi Office Projects, in different time zones obviously (as opposed to being indifferent of course)
So thinking caps on and get scribbling an answer please.
