Build Forge 7.1.3.5 Threads Suddenly Stopped Working
Hi,
Every Saturday night I stop my production Build Forge Management Console so I can do a full, off-line, DB2 backup. After the backup is complete, I restart DB2 followed by restarting the BFMC.
This has worked fine for years. Until this morning.
Today, I received an urgent ping from one of my internal customers who noticed that their threaded steps are no longer running in parallel. They are running sequentially; step (n+1) starting only after step (n) completes.
I created a simple BF project, because I could not believe this was a systemic problem. To my surprise, my test project -- with six threaded "echo" steps followed by a join -- ran sequentially as well, i.e., no threading.
Can anyone suggest a possible starting point for troubleshooting this?
