Re: Update task consuming CPU & in constant Run state

Open your Administrator client and go to Server tab, then Status tab, then 
click Server Tasks.

Sort by Tasks and then look for the Indexer tasks and the Directory 
Indexer tasks.

If the Indexer task(s) is using CPU but there is not an entry listed for 
"Updating views in xxx database" or "Updating xx.nsf view (viewname)", 
then I believe it means the task is busy updating the Domino Directory 
index.

For example, I have 4 Indexer (UPDATE) tasks running. 3 of them are 
updating mail database views and the 4th is "Idle" but is using 1.4% CPU. 
That one appears to be updating the Domino Directory (from my 
understanding...)

You can do TELL UPDATE QUIT to end it (it could be in a loop).

Then do a LOAD UPDATE once for each UPDATE task you need to start. Only 
once if you just have one running.

Update task consuming CPU & in constant Run state






It's been brought to my attention that our Domino server has an Update 
task that is currently running, shown as follows is the job cut & paste 
from wrkactjob:

UPDATE       QNOTES      BCI    74.0  PGM-UPDATE       RUN 

Anyone know how to determine what's causing this job to consume so much of 

the CPU and why it stays in a RUN state for so long?
