Hello, and happy Friday.... Attn: QUIPU users. I would be most interested in receiving some information about how you use QUIPU, along the following lines (for each DSA you run): Master or slave DSA: Hardware/software where DSA lives: How much disk, how much swap does DSA use: Number of entries in DIT: Number of EDB files: Number of levels in DIT: Percentage tree modified by user updates/typical operating interval (*): Percentage of tree modified by bulk updates: How bulk updates are performed: Mean time between DSA reboots (MTF): Mean time between user updates: Mean time between bulk updates: Mean time to reboot DSA (MTR): Mean time required to apply bulk update: Mean time needed for user updates: 'Most used' DUA (dish, fred, your_own): and finally, does your DSA crash, and if so, how often? (*) i.e. how much of the tree do users change in 10 minutes? in 10 hours? in 10 days? etc.... Thanks muchly! When I've gathered sufficient responses (please reply by e-mail to pww@bnr.ca), I'll post some sort of summary. TTFN, TGIF, etc..., Peter W.

Two weeks ago, I sent out a poll asking for various QUIPU DSA statitics - thanks to those who replied! - but unfortunately didn't get sufficient feed back to post any meaningful results. So, allow me to explain the motivation behind the original post: We're having a problem with our QUIPU DSA crashing every few thousand updates. Every morning we refesh all EDB files (about 6000 entries), then get the DSA to reread them. After a week or so, it crashes (i.e. ~40 000 entries refeshed). Has anyone else experienced similar problems? If so, could you send me (pww@bnr.ca) a brief description? Thanks! If not, could you send me a brief description of your update strategy? Thanks! Peter W. (P.S. If anyone is interested in the original questionaire, please e-mail me, and I'll send it to you).
