[SCore-users] status change of queue

[Ulrich Oelmann]

Dear list,

we use SCore5.0.1 under Red Hat 7.2 in Multi-User mode.
Recently I wanted to prepare the SCore environment for some advised
hours of maintenance by disabling the scheduling queues so that no
new jobs would be accepted. On SCore-D Console I gave the command

  >> set queue all disabled

and got the response

  ERROR: job queue[0] is being activated.
  ERROR: job queue[1] is being activated.
  ERROR: job queue[2] is being activated.

Therefore I decided to at least deactivate the queues by typing

  >> set queue all deactivated

and after doing that SCore hung so that I wasn't able to give commands
via SCore-D Console anymore and all running jobs stopped working!

I then terminated the scored process to restart it again with option
"-restart", but unfortunately none of the jobs got recovered.

When I finally had the hours of maintenance, I was able to directly
reproduce this behaviour in a freshly started Multi-User environment.

What happened with SCore in that moment? Did I do anything wrong?  I
don't find any hint on this beeing a corrected or known bug in the
release notes of newer SCore-versions.

I would be very thankful if someone could post an explanation!

Best regards
Ulrich
