  • 1.  LUA filling up FTP DC

    Posted Feb 28, 2015 02:05 PM

    Looks like the new LUA 2.3.4 has some major issues.

    I used to go at least 2 months before needing to clear out and rebuild the definitions on LUA 2.3.2 but now it is only taking a couple weeks. This is a real pain. With SEP12RU2,RU4,RU5 and SMSfE it makes 15GB. Even worse is using the new Wipe feature. Which takes so long it times out the LUA console and causes a webserver crash where I can't get back in.

    Again...you need to TEST BEFORE YOU RELEASE!

    Now I spend about 4 hours a day cleaning up DC's.

    Bugs for reference:

    1. Clicking on on Details of a task occassionally displays a different task.

    2. Deleting a Distribution Center that has at least one Distribution Task displays only a message that the Distribution Center can not be deleted. Previous version deleted the Distribution Tasks associated with DC.

    3. Wipe is slow to delete files from a distribution center. Local server in same data center as LUA takes over 30 minutes to delete 2700 files. Deleting in Windows takes 10 seconds.

    4. Wipe does not delete all files from a distribution (locked files from clients downloading?). LUA must be restarted or service restarted.

    5. Manually running a Distribution Schedule when a manual Wipe is running shows there are no updates for that task. Event log displays the task was cancelled due to purge running.

    6. Wipe times out and LUA console cannot be loaded (next time I get the error I will post it...something about the page can't be loaded...have to restart webserver or reboot server).

    7. Nothing displays current Wipe status. Event log does not display Wipe logs until Wipe is fully complete, times out, or fails. There is no other information showing the Wipe running other than trying to start a task and checking event log to see if the task was cancelled due to purge.

    8. Distributions not consistent. Synch between database and files is off constantly. DC's fill up with unknown files from bad or un-purged files faster then previous versions. (Example: 35GB of signatures took 2 months to fill with junk files before deleting and recreating DC on 2.3.2. With 15GB of signatures it now takes 2 weeks to fill).

    9. Distributing download shows 0% and Failed but some files did distribute. Causes issues with correct files distributing to DC's. Next distribution shows all files trying to distribute with some Skipped and Some Already on Server.

    This is my short list. There were issues with 2.3.2 but at least it wasn't a constant burden and didn't have so many failures.

     

    Send this to your devs...

    10. Linux definitions causing issues on some DC's. Removing them lets the task complete.

    11. Tasks begin with no Publish folder created.
