+amdkt7 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I ran a pocket query last week on my finds and that worked, I got the email with the results in minutes. Today I have submitted a query for sites not found centered around one area, limited to 20 sites. I can see the results, it works, but I am not getting any email with the results. I have tried about three times and it has been hours. My query is still listed and shows that it has never run. I chose "run once then delete" and output to "this accounts email address" How long should I expect to wait? Quote Link to comment
+GeoJunkie Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 It should be very quick, but can vary depending on server load. I hope this doesn't sound insulting, but... did you pick the correct day of the week for it to run? Quote Link to comment
+amdkt7 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 No, I thought that if you pick run once and delete that you did not need to pick a day. I'll try it again with Sat. Quote Link to comment
+amdkt7 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 It now shows that it has run, but so far I have not gotten the email. I'll keep waiting. Quote Link to comment
+amdkt7 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 OK, it showed up, thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment

+amdkt7 Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 Ok, I'm getting better at this, I have run at least ten queries successfully, but this morning I can't get it to run. I get results, I can preview and see that the query works, but it shows last generated "1/14/2006 3:11:13 AM". Right now it is 6:30 AM (CTS) on Sunday. One question: What does it mean when the "last generated" is displayed in bold type? Yesterday's query is in bold, but the one I'm trying to run is not bold. I have selected "Uncheck the day of the week after the query runs" and I have tried it with both Sat and Sunday checked, and with only Sunday checked. Most of the time I get results in less then 10 minutes, but this one has been waiting for about an hour. Quote Link to comment
+GeoJunkie Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 PQs are queued based on the last run date. A new PQ, or one that hasn't run in a week or more, tends to run almost immediately. On a weekend, on one that you ran yesterday, it could take a while. I know it used to not even run some days, before Jeremy implemented some control measures to stop PQs from overloading the system. Even now, though it could take a few hours before it runs. Quote Link to comment
+amdkt7 Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 I tried starting over with a new query name and that one worked. I'm puzzled by why the other did not work. Quote Link to comment
+amdkt7 Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 I see, so creating a new query can get faster results. I did not see your post before I replied. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment
+GeoJunkie Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 It will work...you just have to give it time...leave the box checked and eventually it will run. Patience, grashopper - snatch the pebble from my hand Quote Link to comment
+The Cheese Eaters Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 It should be very quick, but can vary depending on server load. I hope this doesn't sound insulting, but... did you pick the correct day of the week for it to run? Yep, on a sunday night once, it was sooo slow because of the server Quote Link to comment
+Ed & Julie Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) I have found it easiest to create and save several (many) pocket queries and leave the boxes unchecked (so they don't generate automatically. When I need a PQ (usually one, rarely two), I just check it for that day, and normally get the PQ delivered within a minute orr two. After that, I uncheck the box so it doesn't run again until it's needed. People running the maxium number of queries every single day is what puts the strain on the servers. Do you really NEED 2500 cache listing every day?? Edited January 15, 2006 by The Badge & the Butterfly Quote Link to comment
