Backgrounder Process Busy

Nicole Orbe Mar 22, 2016 7:36 AM

This morning the backgrounder process was Down so the server was rebooted. Now it's just spinning as "busy" and we can't get any email subscriptions to run. Reports are being updated correctly since the reboot. The status of the subscriptions are "Pending" and have been for almost an hour.

The server was last rebooted around 6am ET.

Are you able to look at the admin report "backgrounder extracts" to see which task is taking up all your bandwidth? this is where I would start.

Agreed with Jeffrey. You may have a backlog of processes that are trying to catch up. What version of Server? What are your hardware specs? I'm wondering if you could add another backgrounder process?

We just upgraded to 9.2. I'll have to see about adding the additional processor. Thank you both!
