+DkMumrik Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 None of my PQ's has been run, during the last 24 hours. And none of my PQ's that should be generated on thursday (4. march), has been run. (this is where I usualy gets pointed towards an anouncement, stating that I should pay more attention ) Ys Thomas Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I had one weekly (route) PQ generate at 3/4/2010 3:40:52 AM. None of my others (route and regular) have generated (including one that last generated 2/25/2010 12:38:27 AM so it should have been near the top of the list.) Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) One of my route PQs that ran at 2:40AM last week ran at 6:09AM this week. So the route PQ generator is working, just 3+ hours behind. I have had no regular PQs run. [Edited to add: I made a new PQ and it ran immediately, so that hamster is awake and at work.] Edited March 4, 2010 by beejay&esskay Link to comment
+Big Wolf Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 no pq's either, normally I would have expected todays 6 hrs ago but still nothing...... Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 A couple of new PQs that I created a few days ago and ticked to run today came through OK at 08:42 (GMT) this morning. A couple of others that are ticked to run on Thursday every week, and have run previously, haven't come through today at all, so far. That PQ hamster has been taking a right kicking just lately.

+MikieP Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Me too! Waiting on five PQ's last run one week plus two hours ago. Both odd and even numbered. With an array of 39 PQ's that I run fairly regularly, I'm reluctant to delete something in order to do the copy trick. Hopefully Moun10bike or one of the other lackeys will pop on and tell us that the issue is being dealt with. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 We're looking at this now. Lately we have been tweaking settings to find the breaking point and watching for errors, so it looks like we found it/some. I'll get back to you guys. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Some of the PQ generators had stopped running. They are restarted now and PQs should be catching up shortly. I'm sorry for the trouble. Link to comment
+Matthew 7:7 Too Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thanks, Hopefully my 5 PQs will be on their way soon. Chris Link to comment
+MickEMT Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I'm still waiting for a couple. Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Last one came through at 7:15 PM. Usually comes through at 7:15 AM. Link to comment
+JC_Geo Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I had one come through at 2:46 am. But I am still waiting on 3 others. Link to comment
+Turner and Stitch Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I just tried to run 4 pqs and one came in 3 times another 2 times which means I have had my 5 for the day and two of them have never run. Link to comment
+MikieP Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 My five came in between 4:48 and 4:51PM this afternoon, which makes sense since the problem was uncovered and the servers restarted over ten hours into the day. Thanks Lackeys! Link to comment
+snow_rules Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nate, I think you need to recheck to verify that the server are actually working. 3 steps to reporting a bug: 1. What you were trying to do - Run a PQ 2. What happened - NOTHING 3. What you expected to happen - Have my PQ run Link to comment
+Flatouts Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ditto - appears to be a couple threads on this - It's still not working. 3 steps to reporting a bug: 1. What you were trying to do - Run a PQ 2. What happened - NOTHING 3. What you expected to happen - Have my PQ run BTW: Other Conversions from the cache page aren't working either (figure someone might see this here and fix it also?) Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I now I have received all my scheduled PQs for today. Perhaps they are testing how an increased workload (as is planned per Nate) would affect delivery times of PQs. I guess I could get used to it if I knew that was how things were going to be.

+cachensfun Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Can't get the "Our Finds" PQ to send Link to comment
+Cache O'Plenty Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Finally got 4 of the 5 March 4th PQs at 5:30pm yesterday. This morning, the last one came in. None of the March 5th PQs (Friday) have arrived yet. Might need to kick that generator again. Edited March 5, 2010 by Cache O'Plenty Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 The PQ generators are currently running, but for the last week have been undergoing heavy testing as the system is being overhauled. The devs have throttled their speed and established various monitoring systems, then slowly ratcheted things up in an effort to determine what is causing the failures that have lead to recent bouts of unreliability. In the last couple of days, some bugs with the monitoring system have lead to shutdown of the generators at times while other issues have contributed to failures in other ways. We apologize for the pain, but please understand that this pain is necessary at this time in order to get the system up and running at improved capacity for the future. There is currently a backlog of around 20k PQs. Ordinarily this would take a 2-3 hours to clear, but with the throttling and tests that are running right now, any estimate is of dubious accuracy.

+Bus&Betty Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Created a new PQ at the beginning of the week and ticked it yesterday to run today. ~15 hours into Friday, my PQ has not yet kicked off. Tried a suggestion from a different post to copy the PQ. No luck there either. Link to comment

+suz55tbird Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I received 4 PQ's yesterday, but the 2 wanted to run today (both never run; 1st one requested this a.m. @ 6 a.m. Mountain time and the other @ 8 a.m.) have not yet appeared. Any progress? Link to comment
+two bison Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Six hours since my PQ was submitted. Moun10bike said they're running. Doubt is creeping in. I guess we do something else tomorrow instead of geocaching? Dang, and it's Saturday, too. Link to comment
+Bundyrumandcoke Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I dont reckon they are running at the moment. I generated 2 about 3 days ago, and the same 2 just minutes ago. All were to generate Saturday, your time. I still have nothing. Wonderful, as we are on a trip, and have about 500 miles to drive tomorrow, currently with no caches to find. As was asked in an Australian forum, Makes you wonder if the premium membership is worth it? Link to comment
+76-CJ7 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Woke up to find ALL of yesterday's and today's PQ's in my in box. The Lakey's must have been working all night. My hat is tipped to all of you. Great Job Link to comment
+BlueLew Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 None of my pocket queries are running. On those days, that a couple ran (date bold), I did not receive them in my regular e-mail. I have tried a different e-mail account and still do not receive them, if they ran. I have tried resubmitting them, but that doesn't seem to work either. Thanks, Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) My regular weekly PQs ran this morning. I created some new route PQs (to replace old ones that were delayed last week) and they have not run. I don't know if new route PQs are handled differently than old ones (as is the case with "regular" PQs)...but there are continuing troubles in PQ-land. [Edited to add: OK, new route PQs have run. Maybe I was just too impatient for a new PQ to run...but I think they have run faster in the past.] Edited March 6, 2010 by beejay&esskay Link to comment

The copy of the PQ arrived Friday at 11:45pm. Both way too late for the Friday night event I was attending. Link to comment
+Flatouts Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Still having problems here, you guys aren't trying to type each one in for us or something are you... If so hats off to your efforts to keep things going. Us little guys really do appreciate all the efforts that you put forth and certainly understand there will be problems from time to time that need correction. Issue: PQ submitted no speedy results received. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...f2-5a6325624360 Hoping it will be received before we head out that way approx 50 miles. Please feed the gerbils! Link to comment
+Kiersolvd Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Started a PQ today at 6:30 am PST. It said it ran at 12:00 am but still have not received it. Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Started a PQ today at 6:30 am PST. It said it ran at 12:00 am but still have not received it. PQs that say they ran at 12:00am did not run. They encountered some error. I have seen this on route PQs and I attribute this to timing out because of contention and complexity. I'm not sure they will ever run (i.e. if you try make it run tomorrow) because I think that 12:00 flag might be a permanent "don't try to run this". You certainly won't get results from the "run" at 12:00. Best hope: Make a copy and try again. Link to comment
+Bundyrumandcoke Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well my PQs ran about 8 hrs late. Lat night, I ran 2 more for todays trip, and they have not run. I have no caches to find today, unless I resort to the old fashioned way, or have the missus run the laptop in the car all day. Link to comment
+We Three C's Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I guess similar problem to others. Trying to create PQ from "Along a Route." When I submit, says query has been generated, but upon returning to PQ page, it says "last generated: Never." Tried this twice from start to finish, so I think the problem must be somewhere in internetland, and not on my end! Thanks for any help you may provide! Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Update on my Previous post(on some topic of same issue)... 3 Came thru... Still waiting for 2. The 3 that came thru ran at 3/7/10 12:50:15AM The Steaks Link to comment

To test using the same equipment your customers rely on strikes me as odd. But just my opinion. It's my understanding that part of the effort was stress-testing the pocket query system. That's difficult to do on a staging system, but they shouldn't have allowed the testing to break things the way they did. --Larry Edited March 8, 2010 by larryc43230 Link to comment

+MickEMT Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 OK, none for today, yesterday's PQ's mostly ran, but some were at odd times (about an hour before midnight the day before, not a huge issue, but for one I received 10 copies of the same PQ) Link to comment
