- We upgraded to a5.5 a couple of months ago and we are having some problems.
- First of all you probably do not want to go to 5.5. You might try a5.5 which
- is mostly the old queue manager. There are a number of problems with the new
- queue manager.
-
- With a5.5 we are seeing lots of problems with local and remote queues
- pausing and stopping for no apparent reason. We have the latest LAT patch.
- I had heard somewhere that VMS a5.5-1 might help fix these problems. Does
- anyone know for sure? Are there any sites out there with over 300 queues
- on a5.5-1?
