No Free Slots - WF external tasks

TeamSite 6.5
Solaris 8

This is probably something for support, just curious if anybody has seen this and know what it's actually about...

External tasks have stopped working.. looking in iwtrace, I see the following...

No free slots in external process queue. If server not busy, consider restarting TeamSite.

I'm about to request a restart to see if it goes away, but I'd like to know what the actual problem is (No info on devnet or support). There are no existing jobs running in the system.

Your cache might be full. What do you see when you do a "iwstat -c"?

How much memory is on the TS server?
How much disk space is on the TS server?
What other applications are running on that server?

It sounds like a resource limitation has been hit - and that's usually memory, disk-space, or inodes ...

They were all looking fine.
It was actually a fresh install (no wf jobs etc).. we saw this a couple days later.

The daemon restart fixed the problem.

So now I'm not sure if I'll be able to find out what the problem was.

There were no alarms for memory, inodes, disk etc...

The message to restart the server suggests that IWOV are familiar with the problem.. I thought I might be able to get some info on what it specifically may be.

Thanks for the responses.

Thanks.. I'll look into it, but I'll be surprised if this is the problem on a new install with 4 GB memory.

Thanks again

G'day Johny,

I had that issue starting from TS 5... nothing seems to be solving it. we have a cron job that restart Teamsite from time to time.. (and a few other services, can't remember now).
