I had a similar problem recently on this platform, although I’m not using the CL_Archive proc. I upgrade from 3.8.1 to 5.3.3 on Windows 2003 Server. My proc that cycles output starting hanging. I tried many things to fix the problem…nothing worked. Then tried to run the HCICMD -p processname -c “. output_cycle” on a test site and it worked fine.
The difference was the live site had process names with an underscore in the name (i.e HIS_LAB). So, I brought the site down, renamed the processes to remove the underscore (i.e. HISLAB), removed the old process subdirectories under /exec/processes, rebuilt the databases, and restarted the engine. Now the output_cycle runs fine and no more hangs.
I can only assume that there is a correlation to the underscore in the process name.
Hope it helps,
Bryan
