Description

When attempting to install packages in Archer the status of the package installation is stuck in queued state for an extended period of time.

Cause

• Job Engine Service may not be running or stopped.

• Under-allocating threads can caused job queue lengths to increase, which in turn may result in a backlog of jobs.

• Discontinue Job Processing may be checked in Job Engine Manager.

• Job Engine Server(s) not keeping up with the number of jobs in the job queue

Resolution

1. Verify that Job Engine Service is running on Job Engine Server(s) and ensure that service is not stopped.
2. Verify status of the job queue and check the backlogs of jobs via the Job Engine Manager in the Archer Control Panel (ACP)
